#sometimes the risk is so low it's not super worth even worrying about but negating risk at all is still a form of misinformation

never trust any narrative about medicine that talks in 100% absolutes.
#like it does not work that way.
#there's degrees of safety and side effects and likelinesses that should be weighed compared to alternatives
#sometimes the risk is so low it's not super worth even worrying about but negating risk at all is still a form of misinformation
#you tell someone 'there's a tiny miniscule chance you could have x disease but even if you do we are researching ways to handle and fix tha
#potential side effect but if you DON'T take it the chance you will have y disease is idk 10.000 times higher'
#MUCH more convincing than 'this is 100% safe and necessary considering y and you're stupid to question if it's safe at all'
#especially when like. the latter is literally factually untrue so there WILL be proof against it right.
#the proof against it does NOT mean it's going to be statistically relevant to the general population
#but if the only people who are taking it seriously are also people spreading misinformation!
#then that can just be. weaponised.
#whatever
#incoherents
#this goes for treatment not just preventative too like. if someone says ANYTHING is 100% safe well! though if you're actually
#like with a doctor and they say something's VIRTUALLY completely safe that's different I am more talking about studies
#bc the doctor is using language of what things actually would matter to you as a general person in their populace
#however you're still entitled to know potential side effects even if they're rare and usually that's something a pharmacist legally can
#explain and will be listed in the paperwork around it
