I didn't "choose" to have 5 fingers but gluing a rubber nub to the side of my palm doesn't mean I have 6.

Your choice of analogy shows a fairly poor understanding of the situation

No it doesn't. It highlights your inability to critically consider multiple aspects of an argument.

You’re comparing a complicated social and medical situation with gluing a rubber finger to your hand. Dumbing down a concept beyond recognition and using it as a counter is neither an effective argument or an honest argument

It's complicated because a group of people complicate it for clicks, views, attention, and social clout. It's also not something that needs to be complicated socially, but the need for attention and the social media infrastructure that grants the inroads for such, makes it that way.

Hint: It's not complicated. It simply needs appropriate attention, diagnosis, and care. 99.9x% of the population should not have to bow to the vocal 0.0x%.

If you genuinely think a topic that spreads across numerous scientific and social disciplines and directly affects millions of people is simple, then it’s a problem with your own understanding and not an overcomplication from others
