Preventable medical errors are the third greatest cause of death in the United States.

Sure, the legal and moral obligation to provide care exists but it did not prevent the opioid epidemic. It turned out that systemic controls and criminal penalties were needed to prevent doctors from overprescribing certain drugs.

Doctors are generally great and don’t deserve to be disparaged, but they are humans and as fallible as the rest of us. Choosing not to trust all doctors is not rational, and adopting a “trust, but verify” approach to medical advice is rational.

I don't think you're making the case you think you're making.

Not giving people a vaccine that is known to work with very high efficacy is what we would call a "preventable medical error."

Even if something WERE to happen later down the road, it would not be called a "preventable medical error" because it's the best tool we have right now.

This is like letting your teeth rot because having a dentist drill out the cavity would "definitely remove some healthy bits," and that "we don't know where dentistry will be in 10-15 years."
