<p>$12 dollars is $12 dollars people wouldn't have without them. You can always opt out of a class action settlement and sue yourself if you're not happy with the terms.<p>But at the end of the day, the lawyers did real work, took on real risk and achieved something. They held a big tech company accountable, and that is a meaningful difference from the status quo. I don't care that they made money doing that, they should.</p>

<p>Not only that, but when you do fix it, voters will forget how bad things were last term and re-elect the people that caused the damage. It is extraordinarily rare in modern times for the party in power to not change when the incumbent president isn't running. It's also very rare for a party that controls the presidency to keep the house/senate after midterms.</p>

<p>You should note that your study is not controlled.<p>There are two groups, those with oral administration those with sub-q administration. There is not group without administration.<p>This means you can't say that oral vs injected is "equally effective" because you can't assert that BPC 157 is effective at all. You can't tease out the effect size because you don't know if any or all of the MCL ligament healing was done via normal pathways</p>

<p>> Collagen peptides, ghk-cu, and many other peptide supplements are often taken orally.<p>And with very rare exceptions, it's as useful as watching someone workout when you want to gain muscle. Every meat we eat is awash in peptides, and to keep our body from getting hijacked by the signaling for, say a chicken, our body has to break down almost all peptides ingested orally.<p>There are a few exceptions, notably there's one that is produced by our own bile acid, that can be taken orally, and then SNAC, which was developed by Novo Nordisk over thirty years and has extremely limited capabilities and is fully patented and cannot be made by your fly by night distributers. SNAC achieves a whopping 1% bioavailability of the peptide, and it's ability to work depends on the size of the peptide, specifically the only commercially available use for this is Rybelsus.<p>Oral peptides are snake oil for the most part.</p>
