So you would chance it and just hope your child was one of the lucky ones?
I get perplexed by this type of post.
People can have adverse reactions to any drugs. They can be hit by cars when crossing the road. Choke on their donut. They can fall down stairs. Get bitten by the dreaded Blandford Fly. Bite their tongue.
Life's full of risks. If you are afraid to go out because you may get hit by a meteor, then you have lost the battle against understanding risk, and you are probably on an antianxiety drug anyway (and exposed to side effects).
As already stated, antibiotics have transformed lives and medicine. The lives saved versus the small number of lives lost is such a powerful argument. People died and had complications from the smallpox vaccination, but look at the lives saved from one of humanities most terrible diseases.
If you want to live in the Land Before Civilisation, then off you go. You'll be back when you get cold.

You asked if antibiotics should be pulled off the market because people have reactions to antibiotics and die .......and Asmodeus3 replied
If thousands die. Then yes.
And you disagree?
So if thousands die from taking a particular antibiotic...... would you think it ok to give to your child?
Or would you seek out a safer one?
Different argument.
He said antibiotics should removed if they cause hundreds or thousands of deaths. This ignores the millions of lives they save.
You don't understand the safety standards.
Any antibiotics that will kill hundreds or thousands of people won't even be released in the population in the first place

If the odds are better than him not taking it then yes, every single time.
Anything otherwise is child neglect and cowardice.
You don't know what you are talking about. Now you are trying to appeal to emotions. Sign you have lost the argument long time ago.
When a drug or vaccine has killed a handful of people then it is withdrawn from the market. Standard safety measures. If it had killed 70 people only in one country and there are many other suspected cases then it is scandalous to have it on market.

Life is full of risks but safety standards are safety standards when it comes to drugs and vaccines.
Your argument here is terrible.
The AZ vaccine for example has been withdrawn from the most countries that have used it. Why? It's obvious why I suppose unless you want to engage in vaccine apologetics.

Answered a question was asked. If anything the appeal to emotion was the poster asking it.
You think antibiotics should be withdrawn. You have demonstrared that you have no concept of risk v benefit

It's because those scary MRNA vaccines have been found to be more effective.

The risk to benefit is always considered. If the risks outweighs the benefits or if there are many deaths associated with antibiotics or vaccines or other drugs then the drugs are withdrawn. Standard practise.
The person who doesn't have a concept of the benefit to risk ratio is you.

penicillin kills hundreds every year.
Virtually all medications have a degree of risk, if useful widely enough there will potentially be a lot of deaths.
That is weighed against the benefits of the medication.
Your idea that it is purely based on aggregate deaths is obviously false.

You have been appealing to emotions earlier which is a classical sign you have lost the argument.
Above you could see the product by AstraZeneca was pulled by the FDA. Simple as this. The same happened with the AZ vaccine in most countries that have used it.
I find it strange that you take 'offence' on this and in order to support your vaccine apologetics you call other strange accounts that I have not seen before....

That is your unsubstantiated opinion only.
The swine flu vaccine and the rotavirus vaccines were withdrawn for a handful of deaths as they were deemed not safe and effective. They were causing a number of serious adverse reactions.
By the same standards the Covid vaccines should never have been released in the market in the first place.
Pfizer was moving at the speed of science and they didn't bother to check a few things...

Risk of deaths from covid vaccine is tiny compared to the benefit.

Yes we can add that to list of fallacies you don't understand.
Don't be shy, elaborate on your last paragraph.

If the official sources say 70 deaths then you can expect more.
Why? All medicines have the potential for adverse side effects. People die from aspirin, and other common drugs. In the case of vaccinations for Covid, and AZ specifically, it's no longer being administered, so people won't get blood clots because of it. Unless you are saying they will. If AZ has a health impact after the event, then where's the evidence for that. Where's the impartial research? Please not a Youtube vid.
I am genuinely trying to flush out the concern here.

And for avoidance of doubt I am outright stating thousands of deaths is acceptable if it saves many more
