I don't disagree; I'm just talking about relative risk.

A thought experiment: do the legislators care as much about adequate food, shelter, medical care? Water and cooling breaks for laborers, including prisoners? If not, is protecting people an ostensible goal or actual goal?

Keep in mind, side effects can be literally anything reported - headaches, stomach cramps, etc.

The quote says “major complications” and defines what that means. It’s not just side effects. It is definitely surprising that the rate of complications is so much higher for the pills. Still, I think that’s something a doctor should take into account when prescribing and not a valid reason to ban it.

It says “major complication” that required hospitalization, not side effects.
