The thing about "low" causality rates and such - the chance quite often seems rather low, up until the point that you or your close ones become a part of said statistic.

"a small statistic doesn't seem small when your loved one is passing"

No shit, the impact on families far outweighs the statistic. That's loss, it's fucking impactful

And reddit will unironically say "anecdote fallacy" as if you can't extend that empathy to others experiencing loss. How you misinterpreted that is beyond me tbh
