Demonstrably flu vaccines do not effectively avert risk. Demonstrably auto safety standards do not avert risk.

But they do. And they've been so incredibly effective that we have collectively forgotten what risk used to feel like, so we're ready to say we don't need these standards/organizations or that they're not working. Obviously this is not to say they are perfect or free from criticism. But it's not just theatre.
