Even 0.1% is 100,000 kids that will definitely have an adverse reaction. It's one thing to accept such odds with a terminal disease like cancer, but another matter to infect healthy kids with a disease. Ideally human beings would be honest and self governed with a love for all humanity, but since they are not, fear is what keeps them in line. We simply don't have any consequences that scientists and policy makers fear enough. Heck even when they are caught with their hands in the cookie jar, the fines don't bankrupt companies.
