I don’t think it’s that “all new ideas are bad” but more that it’s not always efficient to be the guinea pig. I have a pharmacist friend who says he tries to avoid taking any medication the first five years it’s on the market. Not because he thinks it’s bad but because he’s seen enough new medication to know that it takes about that long to really get a good picture of the risks and interactions.
