I wish we had a graduated approval system, going from "limited data, but a possibility it could really help some people" up to "lots of data, massive peer reviews, effective and completely safe". Let people willing to take personal risk do so, just make it informed.
people are very bad at weighing risks on an individual basis… “personal risk” in medicine would lead to a lot of harm - perhaps more than whats being prevented
True, but you can take that line of thought to some frightening extremes. How far do we go to protect people from themselves and their own ignorance? I tend to be a bit libertarian on this...as long as you're not harming someone else, do what you want. For that to have any chance to work, people have to be informed, which would require orgs/companies to publish and label with much more information than they do now, and certainly more than they want to do.
Anyway, it all gets complicated pretty fast, which is why I list it as a "wish" instead of a concrete proposal.
