Lightning is also a bad comparison because most people try to avoid being outside during thunderstorms but anyway: > More rarely, anaphylaxis may occur (the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has 234 reports out of approximately 11.7 million vaccinations as of 7 March 2021).

I could have used deaths in commercial air travel or chances of winning the lottery - it doesn't really matter to the argument. > Apparently there’s around 200 anaphylaxis deaths annually in the US. That's less than I expected actually. > More rarely, anaphylaxis may occur (the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has 234 reports out of approximately 11.7 million vaccinations as of 7 March 2021). It'd be interesting to know if that were high or low for a typical vaccine or medication.
