Isn't this just a lengthy explanation for suvivorship bias?

    Not really. Survivorship bias is saying "measles aren't that bad, both my parents had it as kids". Because if either of you parents had died from measles then you obviously wouldn't be able to make that statement. Because you wouldn't exist.

    I guess it's more of a recency bias? Maybe? Or incompleteness fallacy?
