You can keep pasting paragraphs about TD. In 14 years and thousands of patients I’ve seen it one time, in a 60yr old man who had been prescribed Halodol for 10+ years
It’s not even remotely common. I can’t even call it rare. It’s basically almost non-existent
But paste a few more paragraphs on it whenever

Your thousands of schizophrenic patients on antipsychotics? Or was it more like 100-200 schizophrenic patients on antipsychotics? So with an annual TD incident rate of 0.9% on second generation antipsychotics, you have have seen up to two cases? Or was it 100 schizophrenics on antipsychotics in 14 years? Was it that many? Or was that just a super useful anecdote?
1% annual rate is small until you think of a million people getting prescriptions for SGAs. It's quite a bit higher for first gen. And that statistic doesn't account for lifetime risk to an individuals. It's hardly insignificant.
Furthermore, doesn't it make you feel bad at all that the treatment used induced a permanent motor disability in even ONE individual under your care?
