As someone actually trained to perform genetic therapy, it was incredible how many people wanted to correct me about my safety concerns regarding the covid shot.
A layman looking up the research isn't even that bad. Nah. Religious podcast guy is the best source.
Well surely now by May 2024 your concerns have proven not to be that big of a deal? It’s been years with billions of shots administered. Concern initially is fine IMO but by now you know the shots are fine, right?
There is absolutely still strong reason for concern. Even without looking into any of the documentation regarding negative effects that we've got now, it's simply not possible to claim that we know everything we need to know about it already. Not by a long shot. Simply the ordinary testing regimes that these sorts of products are supposed to undergo are extremely long themselves.
I think your concern for what genetic impact it will have on us is misplaced as evidenced by plenty of research and the billions of shots over 5 years but I’m also not going to go to the mat over this.
That's a very wise choice not to go to the mat on this, because it's simply the truth that this novel genetic treatment has never passed the ordinary testing regimes for such products, which very few products ever pass because we simply do not know the lion's share of what there is to know about how genetics impact our body's function.
If you want to ignore the potential risks that's fine. At the very least, whether you're safe or not, we'll get some valuable scientific data from you.

I know a thing or two about my field, no one should believe anyone who claims to be an expert in it. No such thing exists.
Yes, about everything except tipping.
I've been a lot of things and done a lot of jobs, but I've been waiting tables full-time for over a decade now. And it seems like that's a valid place to come from to talk about manners in public, pink collar work, working-class economics, the training gap, gender roles in the workplace, and addictive personality types.
But for some reason, people just don't wanna hear it when I explain why and how tipping is a better system for all involved than a set wage would be.
I'm not sure earning tips makes you an expert in socioeconomic dynamics of wage labor
Nor does reading Marx.
Definitely doesn't. Part of developing expertise is having your ideas challenged by another expert, working with them to flesh out your own thinking, and facing sone gatekeeping on the label "expert".
None of these things happen solely from waiting tables or reading a book!
Where does no ethical consumption fit?
