> 99% survival rate The chances of getting in a car accident in any given trip is way less than 99%, that doesn't mean I'm not going to wear seatbelts.

  That’s a strawman argument. A seatbelt is a physical device, you don’t inject it into your veins.

    The vaccine isn't injected into the veins, it's injected into the muscle. Tattoos are also injected into the muscles, and if you only had a 99% survival rate on those they'd be illegal and only the craziest of daredevils would risk them. Anyway, my point is something with a 1% death rate is incredibly dangerous.

      I don't think tattoos are injected into the muscles - they're only skin-deep! But good on the 1%!

        > I don't think tattoos are injected into the muscles - they're only skin-deep! Well rats, there goes that analogy. But I've got another one: maybe a decade ago I had to give a loved one IM injections regularly (there was a class at the hospital and everything), and if there had been a 1% chance of fatal results the drug wouldn't have made it out of the lab.

          Insulin. Imagine insulin with a 1% fatality rate.
