"The uncomfortable truth is that the businesses that act early will appear #Paranoid today and exceptionally well-positioned in thirty days".
Sound familiar?
It's the #PrecautionaryPrinciple, so undermined throughout the ongoing pandemic -

And if, like bogoch, you're thinking that the #PrecautionaryPrinciple is no longer at issue, then your capacity to think might be the problem.

The #PrecautionaryPrinciple demands a #VirusFreeAirMandate, because #LongCovidKids is a morality bankrupt public health outcome.
When considering a man's character, moments like this are telling: why would this man go out of his way to ensure that his followers don't feel compelled to add any protection against #Airborne tx?
It's the antithesis of the #PrecautionaryPrinciple, if not the hippocratic oath.

New legal analysis out: #EU law may not just allow a Pause on #DeepSeaMining… it could even require one.🌊
Legal experts argue this is the way to apply the #PrecautionaryPrinciple in face of scientific and governance uncertainty.

In light of the Iran conflict and Russia's attack on the Zaporizhzhia plant, I cannot help wondering how drone-attack-safe are current, under-construction, and envisioned nuclear plants — and what level of risk such attacks would entail.
#PrecautionaryPrinciple
“Courts have concluded that the #PrecautionaryPrinciple must be respected when there is scientific uncertainty about how to effectively prevent significant or irreversible harm to the environment and to human health of present and future generations, as in the case of #DeepSeabedMining"

A certain prison experiment had to be halted, back in the day, because the consenting adult participants were transforming into irl monsters, and we can't have nice things because these irrefutable lessons were summarily thrown in the trash, along with the #PrecautionaryPrinciple...
🤷🏻♀️🥴🤞
So, boris would not have been able to engage in this callous calculus, if the @who.int had complied with the #PrecautionaryPrinciple, and done a robust public education campaign on #CovidIsAirborne.

#amolrajan when there's limited evidence on the causal effect of hazards such as #socialmedia or #deviceuse but there's an indication that this is possible/likely then apply the #precautionaryprinciple
Another pandemic parallel — presuming kids' symptoms are benign. Never mind their outright, if unspoken, trashing #PrecautionaryPrinciple, these "expected pathway" types are the latest evidence that, by the treatment of our children, we're to be judged most harshly.

Corollary: had the WHO been true to the #PrecautionaryPrinciple, provided #CovidIsAirborne guidance, and undertaken a comprehensive public education campaign on #Airborne tx, then there might not be a #DeFactoDictatorship in the WH right now...
🤷🏻♀️
Have a look at this civil exchange of perspectives, and try to imagine a universe where we had a @who.int that was the embodiment of the #PrecautionaryPrinciple — we'd have had, from go, an ongoing, robust #CovidIsAirborne public education campaign.
And we'd be living in a world where all of...
#PrecautionaryPrinciple makes sense as we await better methodologies and investigations
Of course, they won't *say* that they will never ever embrace the #PrecautionaryPrinciple... but they will never embrace the #PrecautionaryPrinciple... ever.

Turns out mining deep ocean isn’t "inevitable" after all. Funny that.

For respiratory illness elimination, here's the list of crash-inducing blunders:
- #Airborne denial (de facto ongoing)
- abandoned #PrecautionaryPrinciple
- fragile PH egos
- no #VirusFreeAir public education
- zero visionary leadership
- paralyzing fear of anti-science bros
Address any...
...droplet dogma fell apart, we still maintain stepped-up hand-hygiene, because #PrecautionaryPrinciple, but we dropped the evidence-free fomite stuff in favour of doubling down on #VirusFreeAir and vaccines. But PH don't want to know... that our last respiratory illness was pre-pandemic.

Another situation for the #PrecautionaryPrinciple
What? You don't have 5 pairs of spectacles like Prof Branestawm? One for reading, one for writing, one for outdoors, one for looking at you over the top of & a fifth pair for looking for the others on the frequent occasions when they get lost ... lol
#Dyschoriste_nagchana is not a low-threat weed. A year on since raising the alarm NOTHING has been followed through on by weed authorities. Just a few emails calling it a low-threat weed and some empty-platitudes.

Assessing chemical safety is complex, especially for long-term effects. Commenters compare US and European approaches, with some advocating for Europe's precautionary principle: restrict until proven safe. 🇪🇺🇺🇸 #PrecautionaryPrinciple 5/6

The EU General Court ruled that pesticide approvals must NOT be extended automatically. Temporary extensions should remain science-based and fully justified.

Even if you thought there was a low chance of your grandchild being harmed you'd do something, you'd even pay for it!
So why do #ClimateChange deniers irrationally risk their grandkid's future by ignoring experts?
Sure, they don't hate them, but if the result's the same..
#PrecautionaryPrinciple
Australian scientist who alerted world that Covid is airborne wins top science prize When the World Health Organization announced – incorrectly, as became apparent later – in March 2020 that the Covid-19 virus was not airborne, Prof Lidia Morawska knew she had to do something. A renowned expert in air quality and health, Morawska, of the Queensland University of Technology, began contacting international colleagues. She eventually gathered 239 scientists globally to highlight the risk of airborne transmission of Sars-CoV-2. The public pressure eventually prompted the WHO and other authorities to update their public health guidelines. For her work during the pandemic, Morawska was named one of Time magazine’s most influential people in 2021. On Monday evening, she also received the top gong at the Prime Minister’s Prizes for Science, for her “pioneering research about the air we breathe”. Morawska described receiving the $250,000 prime minister’s prize as “an amazing joy”, but said importantly the award would bring attention to her field of research. Her current work focuses on ultrafine particles – tiny pollutants tens to hundreds of times smaller than PM2.5 and believed to have more significant health impacts, but which are not yet widely regulated. “Because they are so small, they can get deep into the human respiratory tract,” Morawska said. Morawska’s recognition comes at a fraught time – an “age of anti-science”, as she has called it. “In the United States, it’s a particularly difficult situation,” she said. “Science and scientists are nowhere near as listened to as … in the past, and decisions are not based on science.” It is a problem she hopes to tackle by bringing scientists together as she did during the early years of the pandemic. “If we operate individually, it’s very easy to reject us … but eventually, the voice of a large scientific body, which can be respected, hopefully will make a difference.”
Lol ... and >99.999% of the population continues to ignore the solution 🙄🤷♂️🤦♂️

3️⃣ ⚖️ The precautionary principle means acting to prevent harm before we have full proof. Better safe than sorry when ecosystems are at risk. It’s a key conservation governance tool in IUCN and CITES.
