Its not my job to figure out "how safe" or "how certain", but I can definitely say with confidence that "more safe than harmful" and "more likely than not" are both really bad answers.
- sixstringtheory 5y agoUnfortunately that is how the world works. It is not all or nothing, it is sets of probabilities and tradeoffs. You will rarely be able to solve complicated problems if your criteria are all or nothing. Few medicines are 100% safe. Nobody can predict the future. I'm sorry you're scared, so are many people, but this is the best option we have right now. I struggle to think of a better choice.
