That's obviously lower than the actual number, but even 1-in-5,000 is an extremely high number for relatively safe medicines. Governments hoodwinked entire populations by redefining "rare". If you had a headache and you reached for a Tylenol and on the side of the bottle it said, "Warning: 1-in-5,000 doses may cause permanent heart damage" would you take it? Doubt it.
