Well, I don’t know what to do about that, but it seems to me that not releasing a vaccine which:

- Lowers the public’s chance of contracting COVID by 50%

- Causes 0.001% of the public to get seriously ill.

...then withholding that vaccine from everyone because some people who don’t understand probability may have a temper-tantrum would be deeply immoral.

None of this contradicts your point per se, but I don’t know what to do about it.
