> It's false equivalency to suggest that because all drugs have some risk, we should treat all drugs as equally risky.
I didn't suggest such a thing. It was more along the lines of "there are a lot of choices and they all have risks, be aware."

That pretty much happens, except that the companies respond with "we printed that risk on the label, you were warned"
