Would you need to believe it's effective, or just safe? I think as long as you have justifiable high confidence in safety then you should take a shot even if it may not be perfectly effective, or might fail entirely.
- craftyguy 8y agoIf you don't believe it's effective, then why bother wasting any time on it? Water is safe, but not effective at treating malaria, so why aren't scientists spraying water on people with malaria? Exactly.
- ALittleLight 8y agoIf you think it's 30% likely to work and 99.9% likely safe, you're in the case where you believe it's safe and you don't believe it will be effective (different from believing it will not be effective). I'd suggest this may be a good risk, depending on how unsafe it would be in the worst case.
