I agree about 90%-

that last 10% is knowing that extremely wealthy powerful people, particularly males, are quite well known to go against medical advice and basic self preservation in personal choices. Especially if it would restrict favorite foods or activities from skydiving to sex to drug taking.

This is a real thing and must be taken into account.

steve jobs was on some crazy psychopath ultra-vegan diet. his doctors told him he needs to eat real food, not some fruitarian quack shit, or he would die. he refused, and then he died when they predicted.

Sure, but if the dude needs a heart he can have six to choose from in 4 hours.

Only if:

A he admits to symptoms and gets examined

B he agrees to medical procedure.

Bizarre as it sounds to regular people, very powerful elites have a sense of invulnerability that often precludes admitting to medical issues.

Those few elites clearly taking advantage of endless organs and procedures to extend their lifespans are not the norm.... particularly in the Boomer and younger gens.

The number of assumptions you're making that go against other behaviors is making your 10% guestimate seem wildly inflated.

We get it. This is a behavior that you want to justify having injected, but it doesn't apply.
