I agree we should better explain the dramatic risk reduction after vaccines. I've long been shouting from rooftops about the need to communicate better that they will greatly blunt transmission. On the other other hand, infectious risks are different category than car crashes.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1383926074380210183 …

That makes sense. Vaccine doesn’t break that?

The only type of car crash even remotely comparable would be a multiple lane highway pile-up, and even then it would have to be an imaginary scenario where the traffic behind keeps piling into the crash. The vaccine adds brakes to this, but you still have to drive careful.

This sounds like it is getting close to one of those physics problems: “imagine an infinite lane highway with no friction...”

Also, there isn’t such an easy way to avoid a car crash, short of not driving at all. If there were, we should make people do it!
-
Well even then you don’t completely avoid it unless you live somewhere cars/powered transportation isn’t permitted!

This is true, but eventually the social risk shifts to a personal risk - at this point, most high-risk people have been vaccinated.
