You can see increased bureaucracy and regulation as being a reflection of putting an increased value on individual wellbeing. I don’t know if that’s right , but you could consider it
You could also consider that the truth lies somewhere between.
If the increased bureaucracy is due to increased value of individual wellbeing, we would only see it in situations where the point of the regulation is increased wellbeing
Which is to say : “if the increased bureaucracy is entirely due to increased value of individual wellbeing...”
If we look at vaccines, vaccines that get developed in a way where the inventor of the vaccine vaccinates himself early are more likely to be safe then ones that get validated through clinical trials where increasing the chance of the trials finding a clinical effect is more important then reducing side effects.
I am finding that hard to parse. How are you defining “safe”, how are you checking that they actually took their miracle cure, and why are you placing so much confidence on a single (at best) data point?
It’s easy to justify having some non-zero level of regulation by looking at the quackery prevalant in the nineteenth early twentieth century. And claiming to have benefited from a cure you had never personally taken is quackery 101.
No,not even for five extra dollars a dose.
