I understand the logic it just seems like using that chain of consequences seems to produce weird results i.e. Item A kills 1% of the population a year, item B kill 1% a year, Item C kills 1% a year but somehow only 1% of the population dies every year.
Though QALYs may get at that.

The 'science' around counting deaths is older and more fleshed out than you are giving credit. People have been studying the impact of different types of events and co-factors on counting deaths for many decades. This isn't just winging it with some new made up statistics.
