.1% is pretty pessimistic on vaccine mortality. There are circumstances where it would be preferable to the alternative, but I don't think there are any /that/

  No, I mean the disease (the flu) has a 0.1% chance of killing me. I wouldn't take the vaccine if the mortality risk was that high (unless I was protecting myself from a disease with a much worse mortality rate) (I edited my previous post to clarify)

    I wouldn't assume your individual risk profile is equal to the average death rate, which is somewhere around 1 in 1000 to 1 in 2500. It's not a random occurrence when you die from the flu. Certain people have a higher risk profile depending on health, age, and immune system dynamics.

      True, but I'm not going to visit the doctor each year for a flu risk evaluation so it's a good ballpark estimate
