I agree to an extent, but to some degree you have to accept that unknown risks might occur down the line. That's the price we pay.Aye, there's the rub. Give it 60 years, then, and we'll actually have that evidence one way or other. Hopefully. Because that's the latency period of some of these diseases. And that's if we start gathering evidence properly on exposures from day 1.
Your attitude is incredibly naive when it relates to public health. We can't afford to wait for the health disaster to happen and then sort it out. We have to preempt the dangers and proceed with caution.
Christ, I hope they never put you in charge of a risk function. That's not how it works at all. Identify, categorise, quantify and mitigate. Don't just stick your fingers in your ears and chant la la la in the hope nothing happens.
