The longer someone lives, the more likely they are to get into a serious car accident that kills them, but we don’t go around acting like it is incredibly common for everyone to get into a serious car accident that kills them. We acknowledge that they happen and do reasonable things to prevent them.
It’s about a sense of proportion. We should not operate like most doctors are full of shit or blindingly egotistical, which circles back to my point about how this is a right wing talking point. Because it furthers their anti-expert (especially doctors) narratives that ballooned during COVID when we act like it’s a bigger deal than it is.
