Exactly. This isn't just about risk-taking in the context of addiction. He went swimming with his grandkids in a fecally-contaminated creek less than a year ago. His personal experience has taught him that germs just don't cause disease.

Or it could that his personal experience is that government/regulators exaggerate TF out of risks/dangers, and so you take it all with a grain of salt.

Or it could be both.

Are you kidding? He spent decades as a trial lawyer suing polluters and trying to get stricter environmental regulation passed. He believes chemicals can harm you and should be out of rivers, but E. coli is A-ok.

Not at all.

This has nothing to do with what I posted. And you can't be surprised a trial lawyer sued someone about something he, perhaps, doesn't give much of a shite about?

David, his public record as an environmental activist is a mile long.

True. I was probably expressing my own POV above. And I'm a guy that had a daughter in ICU for 3 days because of HUS. So it's not that I'm all for E. coli for everybody. It just takes a lot to make me alarmed about a "warning" issued by regulators.

That makes sense to me, honestly. Having a child in the ICU for HUS is the kind of experience that permanently recalibrates what “real risk” feels like, and it’s reasonable that abstract warnings from regulators won’t move the needle much after that. I wonder if part of what we’re all bumping into here is that once you’ve seen a worst-case scenario up close, everything else gets graded on a different curve, e.g. regulators, activists, even RFK himself depending on the decade. How do you decide when a warning clears a bar of sufficient significance for you?

And we ate dirt as kids, did things in sports and the military which would make a billy-goat puke.

We weren't scared of it either.

We were concern about what employers, doctors & nurses, and politicians (looking at you Ja-Biden, Heals and Stretch-Gretch) would do if we didn't get the jab though.

Good question. It probably depends on what we're talking about. If it's something that's familiar versus something new (for me), then the bar is higher. There's also math, as in probabilities - I sat with my wife and one other couple in a restaurant while the rest of the place cleared out because of a bomb threat - all the other patrons, staff and the police that had gone table-to-table to warn everyone of the threat headed for the doors. This was in Mesa, AZ circa 1990 - and my math told me it was some kid that didn't want to wash dishes that night. If I had been in NYC, I would have probably taken it more seriously.
