The potential benefits to the vaccine are obvious - a return to normal. Increased economic output, greater NHS resource returning to day to day business.
Again, the same cannot be said for the above mentioned discredited strategy. The Coronavirus Health Service would have no resource for traditional healthcare provision.

“Extremely low” a vague and subjective term
A conservative estimate is that at least 20M have been infected by the virus and 87K have died, which is 0.4%. I think that comes under the “Extremely low” banner too.
Or do you mean “very really almost none really bad side affects or deaths low” or are you just guessing because you don’t have any real data yet?
