The vax is too dangerous to play around with, so instead I'm going to fly a small, single engine plane with little to no experience with my friends https://t.co/LSXyfqH7tc

This is a rather extreme version of lack of risk assessment capabilities, but still fits the mold.

By the way, chance of mortality in small scale civil aviation has (order of magnitude estimate) somewhere around a 200 billion times the chance of death as compared to vaccination. For just males (the vaccines seem to have a few more problems for women), it’s something like 3-4 trillion times.

People’s risk assessment capabilities are so very very fucked.
