Also, there are outcomes besides death that are really bad.  So the risk of harm is >> 1/100.

And even if you think it is, most of us presumably have something on the order of 50 people we'd really hate to die from this, and 1/100 chance for each of them is a 40% chance someone dies. I don't love those odds.

But yeah the whole comparison is asinine and betrays a deep misunderstanding of what's actually going on here.
