"The German paradox: There should be no genetically modified foods, but a gene-based vaccine without years of testing is fine."
-- Panthea (via Twitter)
It's a bit comical but factual. Last year, there was tons of public news commentary via Channel One/Two (ARD/ZDF) over the evils of genetically modified foods. I would imagine at least five items every single week on the 8 PM or 9:45 PM news....that chatted up the bad things that were involved.
Professor so-and-so said this, and this science foundation said that....all leading back to how you need to control things...preventing genetically modified foods from reaching the grocery shelves.
So now, in the heart of the virus era....a gene-based vaccine will be released with a extremely short period of testing (in most cases....probably less than 100 days). This all seems very fine with the same group of public news journalists.
The odds of something going wrong? Well, you don't know. Maybe you have a bad reaction with just one person out of 8,000 folks vaccinated. Maybe you have a single death from the vaccination from a group of 24,000.
But when you stand and look over how one science was really kicked around a lot, and how the other science was almost never kicked around, it is obvious on what occurred.
