I'm not referring to vaccine. Assuming you've been infected, if you have 98% change of surviving this disease, would you really be okay if you were forced to take a medication that has 1% chance of killing you?
- lolc 5y agoIt wouldn't be framed that way. It would read: "Chance of recovery improves from 98 to 99 percent." Chemotherapy regularily kills people. I would absolutely consider it. Taking a lot of pain to get a chance at extending my life.
- a_square_peg 5y agoChemo is a good example. It's used in a situation of last resort where probability of dying is already very high and if I were in that situation, I would too.
- anchpop 5y agoIf my options are to be forced to have the medication or prevented from having it, I’d rather be forced to have it. It reduces my risk by half so why not?
