I have also randomly met many people who have had side effects from finasteride and saw palmetto - a sizeable fraction of the full sample of people I have met who have taken the toxins.
I have estimated before – perhaps not very scientifically but I could try to do better – that there are around 500,000 people with PFS from finasteride alone. The combined number of people with PFS from all the other endocrine disruptors - accutane, saw palmetto, SSRIs, etc - is perhaps multiple times as high. So there are definitely millions of people in the world with this condition.
But it doesn’t matter if there are 2 million or 200 million people with PFS. With no visibility, proof of existence, etc, it is as if we don’t exist. This has been true historically for other victimized groups as well.
For millennia, people - and “science” - believed gay people were 1% of the population or less. It turned out - or it will turn out eventually - they are more like 20% of the population. How do you oppress and make invisible 20% of the population for millennia? How is that physically possible?
It’s simple: fear and silence.
