Concept.png Precautionary principle Rdf-entity.pngRdf-icon.png

The precautionary principle (or precautionary approach) is a philosophical approach to innovations with the potential for causing harm when extensive scientific knowledge on the matter is lacking.[1]

Official narrative

The precautionary principle emphasizes caution, pausing and review before leaping into new innovations that may prove disastrous. It informs public policy and decision making.

Concerns

While the intention is to prevent harm, corporations can use their leverage on regulatory bodies so that it is applied selectively.

  • mobile communications technologies have since the 1990s been pushed on the market, while safety data was not existing; the WHO does list it as "Possible Human Carcinogen"[2]
  • around 2006 the EU enacted, or started the process of enacting legislation that prevented small producers of health remedies to sell their products - the testing processes for market approval were made too expensive for these smaller companies, practically ending their business, or preventing start of it [3][4][5]
  • mRNA based vaccines do not have any safety data but are administered on a mass scale anyway
