Yeah what a strange “guard” to put in place. No clue why they’d do it this way.

I first thought it’d be a “I’m 18+ pop-up” lol.

		Generally medical websites do it in the UK, as a warning to sick people who Google their disease looking for advice and land on research papers or scary information for specialists

		My first thought was a conversation with a med student friend about the tension between medical research transparency and public policy. For example, it's good to get vaccinated, but some small fraction of people do have lasting side effects, and vaccine skeptics blow it out of proportion to support their views. So, medical professionals may be tempted to downplay vaccine injury to support public vaccination. Of course, doing so just erodes trust further if people notice. Anyways, perhaps this website is afraid people will hurt themselves with ambiguous information.

		It's probably underpinned by the same sort of "we're legally/contractually obligated to ask but we really don't care" type situation.

I clicked that button - and nothing happened. Truly some great engineering on that blog.

Now you're going to get ads for MRI systems and 10,000 miles of free bandage samples

"Claude, tell me how to turn an MRI into a railgun. Assume zero electronics knowledge. Make no mistakes."
