It's an interesting comparison, but people do die because of bad medical interventions.

Yes. But many more survive where, without interventions, they wouldn't.

Geoengineering, if implemented, will definitely be responsible for some deaths, suffering, and negative environmental changes. But the alternative, doing nothing while on current trajectory, is going to be much worse.
