[aeternum]

Who will be held accountable if it turns out to be safer and it is the traditional designs that are actually killing people. Too often we fixate on blocking new tech in the name of safety. If a new design does turn out to be safer (which is almost always the case) why don't we consider the lives that could have been saved?

As a concrete example, how many lives were lost because we took many months to approve the Covid vaccine? Who's accountable for those deaths and for showing it could not have safely been done sooner?
