"we" (the Morrison government?) are unlikely to do that unless they're seen to be honest regarding the risks, and they offer lifetime compensation to all members of the families of those affected by vaccine side effects which, temporarily or permanently, reduce the family income. If the risk is so low the cost should be minimal, shouldn't it? But given the current Government's record with RoboDebt and general distaste for social welfare, I can just see that happining. Repeating ad nauseam that the risk of dying is really, really low just turns the whole exercise into a game of Russian Roulette, and isn't very realistic anyway.
