What’s the probability that today’s scientists look as ridiculous in a few decades as the ones from a few decades ago look like today?
Asbestos was considered a great building material.
While science had improved in absolute terms, there is a chance to screw up in new ways.
- iainmerrick 6y agoSounds like you’re not concerned about all scientific advances, you just want to give them enough to time to be sure there are no adverse side-effects. Vaccines have been around for a very long time and have proven to be incredibly effective and safe. Nobody is embarrassed about how the vaccines for smallpox, polio and measles have worked out (apart from some misinformation in recent years -- you’ll have to do your own research on that one. If you come to it with an open mind I think you’ll come to agree those vaccines are safe.)
