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? -
The GBD is about collateral public health damage from lockdowns and accompanying fear, e.g. less vaccinations, worse cardiovascular disease outcomes, missed cancer appointments, more opioid deaths, deteriorating mental health, more malnutrition/starvation.https://collateralglobal.org/
