$25b to vaccinate the world if we'd steamrolled over Big Pharma and just made it available. That cost would have been divided among major countries. How much are multiple shutdowns and endless variants costing the US alone?
The recent CDC guidance relaxation gets a nope from me. The science needs to be upheld whether they think people will follow it or not. What becomes the tipping point for changing rules - if 50% of the people will comply it stays as is, but if 51% won't, time to change it?
I tend to agree. The cdc has botched its messaging from the beginning, starting last year. Someone needs to step in and force them to get their act together. Of course, the danger there is that political officials are accused of altering cdc guidance.
