Can’t compare it with cancer, but calling it barely an inconvenience is also a hit rich in my experience.
Also the 1% chance is pulled out of someone’s arse isn’t it? Did anyone here look up actual numbers for long term detrimental effects?

It’s an extreme example where the decision is easy: death vs hair loss.
When it comes to more nuanced decisions: glasses vs < 1% risk of blindness, that’s a decision that people will have more different opinions on.
