I agree, most people dismiss claims of harm because they themselves are not personally affected by it ( example perfumes, allergies). Or do not see the immediate effects of it. ( eg. DDT ). Greed,ignorance and mostly stupidity plays a role here. Further they turn the tables and ask for proof of harm of the technology in question, instead of having to prove proof of harmlessness (which can be done but they do not do it).

>It's almost like the X-ray thing all over again. Or smoking. Or DDT

History repeats very reliably.
