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.
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've just learned not to give a shit if people want to whip themselves into a frenzy so they can feel the rush of being on the "winning" team by parroting whatever their go-to social conditioning coordinator told them in today's podcast.
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.
It doesn't have to be fair, but that is one of the reasons that corruption can be so difficult to deal with, because financially stressed individuals are highly vulnerable. Corruption isn't turning into some cartoon villain, but rather it's exactly that sort of "look the other way" for a couple bucks, repeated many times, which allows them to operate within known and mapped corrupt organizations. It's just one more reason that charity has been a cornerstone of western civilization, because people are a lot harder to corrupt if they can count on their communities to help them in the event everything else goes wrong.
Only reason people even need money is because we actively destroy the spaces we would need to live on the land without it.
