Thanks to my reader Jojo, I am offering a more thorough perspective on the risk of oral contraceptives than the update I posted several days ago, which inflated that risk. I greatly appreciate my eagle-eyed readers who keep me honest when I occasionally drop the ball. In all my other work as a journalist, I have an editor to run things past. Here, it’s me, myself, and I. Sometimes that is not enough. Thanks again, Jojo.
