To a two year old with a hammer, all the world is a nail.
New technology is dangerous. The more complex it is the more likely it is to exhibit emergent behavior (stuff you don’t expect).
When you introduce new technology into a complex system (and there is nothing so complex as the human body) you absolutely need a plan for all the stuff you don’t expect. Which is why you start slow and small, making mistakes and learning as you go.
Instead, when it comes to MRNA technology our medical community is acting like a 15 year old that just found the keys to the liquor cabinet and the Corvette.
It is insane to take a new medical technology and try to use it on every person on the planet who is breathing whether they need it or not. That is stupid and arrogant beyond words to begin with, but that isn’t enough for them.
Now they want to displace successful, working treatments with this new technology. Why? Because to them it’s a cool toy. Consequences don’t factor in any more than that drunk teenager driving 100 mph through a school zone.
Perfect post.
