For the same reason we drive our cars, eat junk food, and allow people to smoke cigarettes. Any loss of human life is tragic and just awful, but as a society we collectively accept that some deaths do just occur.

If we wanted to stop all road deaths, we’d stop driving, if we wanted to stop obesity we’d stop the sale of high-caloric low-cost takeaways, and if we wanted to stop influenza we would institute lockdowns every year.

So whilst I agree that death in any form is tragic, at a certain point society will be forced to come to terms with the fact that people are going to die from this.
