>> If there's a 0.000001 chance of the vaccine causing problems vs a 0.0001

The problem is how do I trust these numbers. That the vaccine risks aren't underestimated and the disease damage over-estimated. Something that can be confirmed only when enough time/data has elapsed.

The current pandemic is an example. Almost everyone who publishes data has some motive to push a viewpoint (knowingly or unknowingly). It will take some time before one can trust the data and its inferences. But then meanwhile, one is being asked to trust the experts who are not open about the data and methodologies.
