This list should be your response to anyone saying, "You should always trust the SCIENCE!!, Take the jab!!"

But this is in the past. We do it differently now and everything is ethical and we live in the best of all possible worlds.

"Best of intentions." "The very highest of ethical standards."

Die anyway.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” - C. S. Lewis

They don't seem to understand that human nature has not changed. And the fact that we have better technology now than we did in the past also means it's easier to promulgate bad science. It's easier to lie, obfuscate and mislead because the science is opaque and inaccessible to the average person, and even to trained scientists outside the field.
