I don't know the guy but to be fair there is always a risk tradeoff. We also accept it to be OK if people die in car accidents. The alternative would be to forbid traveling by car.

Absolutely. But most humans aren't rational being and consider such statements unacceptable.

We definitely have ways to spend more money ok healthcare or charities, with obvious positive consequences. However we're far from spending every last penny on it. This is because it isn't our top priority.
