Pessimism
Pessimism is a negative mental attitude in which an undesirable outcome is anticipated from a given situation. Pessimists tend to focus on the negatives of life in general.
Your philosophy is not that of a pessimist ... your philosophy is much like my own which I call pessimistic optimism ... prepare for the worst so as to be ready should that occur but believe that it won't so as not to be a 'downer'. Works for me.
As to 'efficacy' ... those numbers are completly misleading and really have nothing to do with choosing the best vaccine. Remember Trillions of dollars are at stake as big pharma competes for the billions of doses needed ... the LIE Olympics have begun.
