20. And it can be accidentally injected into any nearby blood vessels

and can be absorbed into the skin and muscles and circulate throughout the body.

There is a REASON why LIQUID silicone injections are NOT approved by the FDA.

Silicone (and sometimes saline liquid) is approved when contained and sealed within some type of "bag-like" form.

And no it's NOT "overblown" because you have a lunatic Secretary of HHS who has spouted crap about acetaminophen, let alone a whole pile of other bullshit things related to anything "medical".

This is now the 2nd issue that Leavett has been a part of that this hypocritical administration has ranted about (the first was her nephew being born to an undocumented immigrant, who is set to be deported) and now this.

You fight fire with fire because this administration has prided itself in spreading misinformation and burning everything down.
