Agree an important perspective. I disagree that most GBD critics were focused on funding, but were asking for details of the plan & earnest debate, which was not forthcoming. @melindacmills @dgurdasani1 @BillHanage

So I still ask, why does having a highly efficacious vaccine available not merit a reconsideration, since any COVID-19 long-term illness, hospitalization & death avoided now (even among younger groups) could be forestalled forever?
Fair question. We also need to urgently implement other focused ways to protect the old, since vaccines are not 100% effective and takes time to roll out. That is half the GBD. 1/2https://www.newsweek.com/we-should-focus-protecting-vulnerable-covid-infection-opinion-1543225 …

Lockdown measures such as closed schools/universities are generating enormous long-term collateral damage on children and young adults. The price on working class is too high from lockdowns that failed to protect the old. This is the 2nd half of GBD. 2/2http://www.collateralglobal.org

Agree
that school closures are very costly-Europe chose a different path than US but that doesn't imply not minimizing transmission otherwise. Re:collateral damage-I thought you said GBD was not about economic costs? & this evidence separates effects of restrictions vs. virus? - Show replies
