Oh my goodness glad I didn’t hear that before getting the shots. I’m already a K cup, my back would grind into dust if that happened!

Actually, as far as I know, this condition can be really painful (back problems especially) and also a psychological burden. So all the best to everyone who expiriences gigantomastia.
However, just imagine how much this news could have changed if it had been known and gone viral during COVID. Think of all the young adults wanting to try out the vaccine for themselves, influencers doing fake “I got big boobs from the vaccine” videos (and therefore advertising the vaccine), maybe even less people doing those “virus parties” that some idiots did. Kind of like the “if trees would produce wifi, they would be planted everywhere” scenario.
I mean, we don’t really know, because it didn’t happen, so I could be very wrong about this.

Some men were avoiding the covid vaccines specifically because they believed it makes men sterile. As one of my neighbors said in reference to a family down the road who lost two adult sons (and cited sterility as the reason they didn’t want to get vaccinated), “They definitely aren’t having any kids now.”

I think this could’ve worked for a sizeable portion of women but even removed from how this is reenforcing patriarchy I think that would’ve lost you a majority of all men getting one in the same breath

I got this new anime plot. Basically, there’s this high school girl except she’s got huge boobs, I mean some serious honkers. A real set of badonkers. Packin’ some dobonhonkeros. Massive dohoonkabhankoloos Big ol’ tonhongerekoogers. ‘What happens next?!’ you ask? Transfer student shows up one day with even bigger bonkhonagahoogs. Humungous hungolomghnonoloughongous.

Will this be like viagra? Where it starts off with one purpose but the main side effects end up as the desired ones?

Occurrence is too low. One day their will be a way to inject a boob growth drug, among other “enhancements”.
If that comes first or “bespoke babies” with gene editing comes first is a coin toss.
One day small boobs will be uncommon and I find that unfortunate.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 6 hours ago
I doubt that. There are both men and women who prefer small.
What might happen, is that whatever cultural ideal becomes contemporary, is also what most people will opt for, but that won’t mean people on the fringes of the bell curve stop existing.
I find it more likely that if big breasts become “easy” to get, the ideal will simply shift to something else, as the rarity is part of the appeal.
If a trait becomes common, at least some portion of people lose interest.

re: gene editing
Ummm what kind of deranged psycho would sit in a doctors office a d specify:“I want my daughter to have huge tits!”
Squirrelsdrivemenuts@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
I don’t think that that many women want bigger boobs. I have more friends who dislike having big boobs vs small boobs.

We already have drugs that increase breast size, they just have the primary purpose/drawback of inducing lactation.

It doesn’t say explicitly that this happened to BOTH boobs. It’s entirely possible that this only happened to one of them.

The paper includes images of the patient and specified it was bilateral.

This sounds umm fast? Like, we are not supposed to grow quickly. Not what humans do.

Skimmed the article. It happened over 6 months, starting from 1 week post-vaccine. Started with a tingling feeling. Patient grew from B size to GGG. Breast reduction was performed to reduce the size to DD, with further reductions being discussed at the time of publishing

This year’s vaccine sounds like it will do a great job at protection.
Sorry if you live in an area you cant just walk into a CVS…

Yes, funny big boobs image, but reading the report she needed blood transfusions at two different times post surgery.
This isn’t a “how do we recreate this” occurrence, this is a “how rare is this and how do we make sure we can test for this reaction so someone doesn’t go through this again.”
If this has happened to any other tissue in the body, I would be concerned about the lethality of this specific reaction.
