> A lot of people - dare I say most - have a higher tolerance for risk than the health authorities do. You don't get to claim this and also simultaneously make claims about low prevalence myocarditis from Covid vaccines. Sorry, I'm not letting you get away with that rhetoric. People like to think they have higher risk tolerance--until their bet comes up snake eyes. At that moment, you find out what their risk tolerance really was. Lots of anti-vaxxers thought that they had high risk tolerance about Covid and vaccines--until they came down with Covid and landed in the hospital. Suddenly, their risk tolerance went out the window and they all wanted lots of heathcare treatment and suddenly were asking for the vaccine (without the understanding that the vaccine was now useless). |

I took a dose of the AZ vaccine after the blood clotting issue was on the radar. Turns out my risk tolerance for vaccines was relatively high.

You find out what their response is to being unlucky. If I lost all my money in an investment I'd be fuming and ranting for a few days but that doesn't tell us anything about my risk tolerance.

Did you expect them to be hospitalised and refuse medical treatment? Again, you're finding out someone's response to being unlucky, not getting a read on their risk tolerance. I agree that most people are bad at judging personal risk; but people should have a right to make their own mistakes.
