(9,166 posts)The current guidelines were not taught to practicing physicians until more recent decades. This is because the actual levels of resistance, use of antibiotics in farm animals, etc. were not issues until the 60,s', 70's and 80's. MD's prescribed broad spectrum antibiotics willy-nilly for a long time, often without even attempting to identify a specific bacteria. Most would not do so today because it causes problems. You can debate who knew what when, but some things surfaced over time that were not predicted. The original protocol was not good enough and I only mentioned antibiotics as a convenient example.
Again, the point is the same. You can't predict the nature of issues that might occur with the list of studies done on GMOs since 2000. It will likely be many years to discover what happens with GMO's. Maybe nothing will be harmful or problematic. OTOH, there may be new things about GMOs that we didn't completely understand.
I believe we have more scientific history about vaccines than GMO's at this time, so I don't think the original post is a valid comparison.
