I'd rather speak in terms like "I don't want to buy a car that has a 10% chance of spontaneously exploding and killing all passengers"

We have those, because car sales are largely run by a free market. Nobody would buy a car that had a 10% chance of spontaneously exploding, and a competitor would happily move in to build a more reliable car that people were willing to pay for that wouldn't kill them.

On the other hand, in the USSR, you got to "buy" whatever shitbox the government deemed be made.

"I don't want to take a vaccination that makes me feel so sick I have to take a week off work".

And this is an issue because we don't have a free market in drugs or "vaccines". Instead we have a government "regulator" that is captured by the pharmaceutical industry, and mandates that we buy (through our taxes) and take shitty, untested "vaccines."

Thomas Sowell talks about all of this. If you think you can come up with a "regulation" that doesn't have unintended consequences that are almost always antithetical to the problem you're trying to solve, you haven't thought about it hard enough.
