...and if it were choice between vaccinating kids and driving them places, then this example would be relevant.
We don't approve drugs simply because they're less risky for a target population than some other selection of risky things.
> Even when the risk/benefit profile is even/negative, absolute risk is super low.
Yes. So is the benefit.
Safe is always relative. If you don't think the vaccines are safe enough, then please also be consistent and don't engage in equally unsafe activities, e.g. don't drive a car, exercise regularly, eat healthily, don't encourage your girlfriend/wife/daughter/friend to take the contraceptive pill or, even worse, get pregnant, also do not take a large number of other drugs etc.
