I'm sure that the Vox article said "from what we know so far", but even if it didn't say that, isn't it obvious? We can only talk from current knowledge.

If it's obvious then it should be equally obvious that a comparison with something that has long term knowledge is nonsensical.

1. Part of current knowledge are the facts that a) we don't know the long-term effects, and b) those long-term effects might be horrific.

2. It's apparently not obvious, because people on this thread seem to not have thought of it, and when I pointed it out, they've argued vehemently against it.
