>There was so much changing about medical science so rapidly that a lot of terrible practices wound up being accepted by most doctors.
Sounds familiar...
This is a result of techo-progressivism; we assume all new technology will improve our lives. Turns out that's not even close to true, but the technology that does so creates so many benefits that it's easy to attribute them to technology in general.
We're seeing the exact same thing as we've seen for the past 100 years (at least) but instead of Thalidomide and asbaetos, it's mRNA and hormonal birth control.
Science needs to be extremely conservative or it will cause more harm than good in the long run.
