    can we talk real numbers please.

    tbh: just to decrease my chance from dying to colon cancer from 1:75000 to 1:85000 I won’t let someone rummage around in my guts. fuck off! an decrease of 50% is still ignorable if only 1 in 100.000 gets it.

    I am a big believer that so many shit that gets tested regularly for is doing more harm then it helps…

    do you wear a helmet while jogging because there might be a way to fall where you could die without one?

      I do wear a helmet on my bike and seatbelt in the car for that reason.

      But more importantly, what standard preemptive screening is doing any harm? Are you an anti-vaxxer, too?
