While your point is perfectly valid, I think it should include fairer comparisons than infectious diseases. Most people don’t willingly participate in something that would risk MRSA, whereas many do fly. Not sure what a better comparison would be though. In this case, it would be something that includes: number of deaths or injury or near death (door flying off and potentially getting sucked out at 30000 ft) due to flying Boeing vs driving X number of miles in a car. This would be a similarly rare occurrence but would be nice to see the comparison between plane types.
