Irrational fear of vaccines has killed a large number of people. Irrational fear
of GMOs causes large scale problems in the distribution of food. Irrational
fear of carbon dioxide has caused a $1.5 trillion dollar year expenditure on
getting rid of the stuff.
Stuart Russell's own example counts against his thesis:
Irrational fear of nuclear power is the problem that prevents its deployment -
causing many more deaths in coal mines as a direct consequence. In fact,
nuclear power is - and always has been - a very safe energy-producing
technology.
You have to update these arguments when using Chernobyl as an example with the
effects from the Fukushima nuclear disaster where the total death count may be
in the millions when fully calculated.
There appears to be some way to go to reach that figure:
