The Precautionary Principle is a religious principal.
You see it championed the most by religious organisations like the environmental movement.
This article doesn't quite get the religious framework. These are not the Precautionary Principle -
> medical maxim to “first do no harm.”
> For example, if one person per year dies from an allergic reaction to a guinea pig bite, it’s probably not worth banning pet guinea pigs.
A very good example of breaking the The Precautionary Principle is rolling out covid-19 vaccines. If it's dangerous it could kill humanity.
[edit] Prob not the authors intent but the Hippocratic oath forbids abortions. Which under the Precautionary Principle would be illegal, it could be a conscious human so we should never take the chance.
