You Americans need to lose that 'either-or' mentality in which you polarize to extreme end of EVERY single thing.
> They also ignore massive scientific evidence backing the safety
There was massive evidence that backed the safety of a large host of technologies and products until they were proven lethal. Majority of the evidence backing those came from privately-funded US think thanks and research institutions.

- RcouF1uZ4gsC 4y agoThe anti-vax people can say something similar: "Immunology is science. Vaccines are products. Being Anti-Vaccine does not make anyone 'anti-science'."
- unity1001 4y agoPrecisely. That would be also correct. In the US, the concept 'vaccines' have been made into another extreme polarization topic. Its either/or. The fact that vaccines are also products and there can be heavily deregulated corporations running roughshod in that industry escapes one side of that spectrum. If a corporation like Glaxo Smith Klein can knowingly kill 150,000 Americans with their drug Avandia, and even starts to suppress evidence before releasing the drug and GETS AWAY with it, one can easily conclude that any other US corporation in health sector would be doing similar things. At the time of the Avandia drug scandal, there were THREE other massive corporations like GSK who did precisely the same.
