that throws the liberal "zero risk" conceit into a cocked hat
I'm glad to see here the idea that "zero risk" is a liberal concept. Although medicine should be evidence-based as much as possible, a doctor could not stay in business if he only said and did what was exhaustively proven to work.
How about this one? People unwilling to be, to some extent, experimental subjects, hardly deserve to benefit from the sacrifices of past human experimental subjects.
American Conservatism conserves the American tradition of freedom to innovate--not the status quo. What is "zero risk" but the conceit of absolute protection in the herd?People unwilling to be, to some extent, experimental subjects, hardly deserve to benefit from the sacrifices of past human experimental subjects.
They are also pretty weird, in that there's no such thing as ultimate physical safety in this life--eventually we'll all reach the "desperate ill" stage.Those who think the status quo is safety, must think that there is a cure for Alzheimer's Disease. There isn't, you know--and it's far too common in octagenarians to merit complacency.
