Hey Pandas, What’s Actually Safe, But People Think Is Really Dangerous? (Closed)
Most of us love a good scare, but not everything that seems dangerous actually is. Let’s dive into some surprising things that are totally safe, even if everyone thinks otherwise!

Vaccines.
The number of people who fell for antivaxx b******t is huge. And unfortunately, lives were lost because of it. Children whose parents refused to vaccinate them. People who refuse anti-covid vaccine during the pandemic, and later passed away of covid.
I've been working in clinical trials for almost 2 decades. The amount of safety data required for a d**g to be approved is impressive (all must documented and verifiable). Vaccines save lives.
No, you don't get sick because of the vaccine, and your genes are not altered because of it (that's not how genetics works). 🤭

Not giving your opinion. Perhaps not even having a strong opinion. People seem to think the entire world would leave its orbit and crash into the sun if they, just for a moment, chose to stfu.

Not following trends/doing your own thing. Most people will point out how it will make you a target for ridicule or whatnot, but it is better to be yourself than conform to the norm.

Nuclear power. No it's not 100% guaranteed perfectly safe at all times under all conditions, but what method of power production is?
The newer generation (Generation IV) reactors are safer and produce much less waste than previous generations.
Nuclear waste can be recycled into more fuel. France recycles about 96% of their waste.

Australia, Yes we have a lot of animals big and small that can potentially hurt even k**l you. But so do a lot of other places and people still travel there. We do have Dropbears though, stay the f.u.c.k away from those angry furry little buggers.

A woman being ok with the man driving them on a first date. I see so many thinking this is ok, especially on those Tinder horror story posts from BP

GMO foods. There is little-to-no evidence that they are a health or environmental risk, and they provide many positive benefits to the plants' health, taste, nutritional value, and production and can reduce pesticide use. People just have a gut reaction when they hear scientists are messing with genes, like they're going to turn you into a zombie when you eat a tomato.
