Realize that the health risk doesn't rise up to halachically significant
levels. There are a few cases of permanent harm among hundreds of
thousands of berisim. And while "even one is too many", the same is true
of traffic fatalities. More Jewish kinderlach die or are permanently
injured in car accidents, r"l. Do you think we have to assur letting
children cross the street, too?

This isn't about statistics. And yes one life gone for no reason is one life too many. Ask the parents that lost a child because of it.
 
So what if there is no statistical difference. Why do Chasidim have to be frummer than the Chasam Sofer, R' Chaim... or any of the current Litvishe Poskim like RSK? Why must they accept even a remote possibilty if it can be prevented by using a perfectly legitimate Halachic alternative? What are they so afraid of?
