I wouldn’t take the heroin version of anything unless the alternative was highly likely and extremely bad

Would I drink murky water in the woods? Maybe? Am I about to die of thirst and have no other clean water sources?

Would I take a vaccine made in a dude’s garage and posted on less wrong? Maybe? But only if there are no other options to keep me from a disease way worse than the horrors that covid actually is.

But it’s worth recognizing that this fear and noise in the system is the same type of thing that gave us an Arizona couple dead from drinking fish tank cleaner.
