And if you want to wait till 2024, just extrapolating
you’re looking at an additional 1.8 million people dead in the US from COVID alone. Throw in another few hundred thousand as the result of mental illness, unemployment alcoholism, violence, opioid abuse, deferred medical treatment due to social isolation.
Then add in 20 trillion dollars in lost economic output, and Federal debt in excess of 200% of GDP. Not to mention the lifelong disruption to children from 3
more years of social distancing and education disruption.
and as COVID fatigue increased over a total of 4 years, the numbers would only get worse.
And for what? More certainty that the very low risk of side effects is in fact extremely low?
Nothing in life is risk free, but any risks from the currently approved vaccines is orders of magnitude less than waiting 3 more years.
