) How many lives will be saved by a vaccine mandate? The facts that most people are choosing to be vaccinated voluntarily and that deaths are already falling rapidly without vaccine mandates are relevant.

pair of Harvard economists estimates that the coronavirus pandemic will cost the nation at least $16 trillion if it ends by next fall — timing they describe as “optimistic” — and say that a number that large justifies interventions such as a coordinated nationwide program of testing and contact tracing that would save 30 times its cost.

“It’s almost hard to understand what a number of that size means,” said David Cutler, the Otto Eckstein Professor of Applied Economics. “This is like a hurricane hitting the whole country.”

The calculations were done by Cutler and Lawrence Summers, the Charles W. Eliot University Professor and former U.S. Treasury secretary, and published in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Cutler said they embarked on the project in order to quantify just what is at stake economically as the pandemic grinds on and to evaluate the relative cost of interventions such as congressional bailout programs and public health steps like nationwide testing and contact tracing, which so far have not been implemented.

Cutler said the work lends numbers to what has been widely believed: that the coronavirus pandemic is among the greatest economic calamities in the nation’s modern history. The tally, Cutler said, is four times the damage done by 2008’s Great Recession, outstrips the amount spent on all the fighting — in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria — over the 19 years since 9/11, and, according to their analysis, “is the greatest threat to prosperity and well-being the U.S. has encountered since the Great Depression.”

I think you are greatly exaggerating the number of lives that would be saved by a vaccine mandate. Most covid dearhs occurred before the vaccine was available, and now the numbers are falling without a vaccine mandate.

You are arguing an extreme, that lives should be saved at all cost. This isn't how reality works.

Lowering the speed limit 5mph results in a 8.5% reduction in highway desths. That translates to thousands of lives saved.

By your logic, the speed limit should be 0mph?

We have to strike a balance between freedom and safety. Neither exteme
makes sense. Sane policy lies in the middle.

You are saying that sanity is one of the two extremes?

In that extremism would be sane and moderation would be insane. Maybe that explains political discourse in the US (and why Izzy says I am Hitler).

What if the threat to public health were extreme? No one knows what truly hideous diseases may emerge in our warming climate.

This is the Patriot Act argument. It is a scare tactic to a political end.

They told us we had to gave up civil rights because we didnt know what hideous terrorist acts may emerge ...

You are using the same scare tactics.
