Carcinogenicity alone means nothing. Sunshine is carcinogenic too for god's sake as many naturally occurring thing in the environment.
“the dose makes the poison”
We should not load ourselves unnecessarily but be realistic still not overusing strong scaring tactics regardless of circumstances as we will be powerless handling more serious cases presenting themselves. There is difference between going hysterical and being cautious.
- Technically 6y agoWhat do you mean by "unnecessarily"? How are you quantifying the risk and what is the certainty where it becomes worth addressing across 7+ billion people? You haven't demonstrated that this is "hysteria" and your own blasé attitude is worth imitating.
- mihaaly 6y agoWhat will constitute unnecessary load was not the topic here, obviously, but the overusing of strong and scary style for an already very serious topic. The side comment - in favor of the comment replied btw. - about avoiding adverse effect if possible is a side comment only. What is unnecessary load is highly context dependent, obviously, to be a comment space enough to discuss reliably, depending on the situation, please do not stress this derailment of issue. Also demonstrating if the level of hysteria reached, really? : ) Come on! Do you know some scientific method to accurately and objectively measure it so it will not be an individual/group human perception? I don't think so. Consider this as it really is: a strong perception from the public. Thank you.
