That I can partly sign. The complexity is way out of controll and it is way to hard to get stuff done with all regulation. But somehow we need regulations. So where is the golden way? If we overregulate people will shout that potentialy beneficial things wont happen…. On the other side if we dont regulate people could be killed with harmfull stuff that could be prevented.
Honestly this question is puzzling me since a while and I cant even state a direction I would take because its to complex for me….. but gut feeling says more transparancy and less complexity could work in designated areas… but … gut feeling.
And as said I understand your first rage. With the past years we are all on the edge with strangers, me too. And I did somehow mumble a bit …
Edit: to the vaccine part. It seems easy to develop them. A friend working at a well known biotech lab was even thinking about making one on the fast way for himself. The hard part is to scale the production and have a good one. As far as I remember those two werent the only ones… but those that worked well.
But at first I was rly impressed that they got it that fast and then I was even more impressed about the scalling problem. My friend told me about it and it was fascinating.
- radu_floricica 5y agoYeah, home-made vaccines are a thing, but they're usually made of inactivated viruses and have some disadvantages if used on a large scale. Still a fair option, and probably one we could have used early on for populations very much at risk, where the cost-benefit is worth it. Problem is we don't do cost-benefit anymore. With Covid, pretty much any measure they approve becomes very soon mandatory. Vaccines approved for children? Vaccines are now mandatory for children (or strongly encouraged, depending on country). That's... I don't even know how to call it. Bureaucratic thinking? A properly medical approach would be to have a bunch of tools with various degrees of risk and use them as needed. It's ok if individual doctors have to make more complex decisions. It's ok if guidelines are longer than one page. Currently they seem to avoid allowing anything more complex than can be explained on TV.
