While I think you're absolutely correct in theory there are a lot of people on the risk management side using bad data to argue the opposite. Personally I know for people in my life it's not enough to discuss the fact that the COVID Vaccine may or may not be as effective as the media says, we're not talking percentages of effectiveness, but they'll send me articles with no data implying that vaccines kill kids (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3170075/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3170075/). Or Articles like Alex Berensons misleadingly taking half of a graph from a 40 page report out of context: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/nov/30/alex-berenson/alex-berenson-misrepresents-data-death-rates-vacci/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/nov/30/alex-beren... I think there's a pretty narrow set of people actually trying to have the debates you mention, and I agree the world would be a much better place if we did. I suspect it's because if you want an audience, it's really hard to get people excited about a few percentage points of different risk.
