Public Defender Discussions

Before biglaw I was a public defender. Despite the cynicism on here about BL and BL clients, integrity and responsibility in the legal profession matters to me. How do we recover from this?

I have a coworker who keeps spouting comparative odds and situations in regards to the safety of the vaccine. Such as: you're twice as likely to get hit by lightening than have blod clots from JJ. It's very annoying and I find it to be really inapprorpriate, maybe because it's pushy or just I find these comparative things to be a bit irrelevant. How does one handle something like that? Can you shut the person down without starting a spat?
