Science is BS... till I get sick.
BTW just consider the social cost. Vaccine costs $20. Remdesivir about $3K (not to mention the productivity lost by individual who is sick enough to need it). Remdesivir helps a sick person get better, vax prevents well person from getting sick and from getting other well people sick.  |
I am not at all remiss of the irony of it. I agree 100%, however we are interested in overall health of the population, it is also possible to do both and we should pursue both. They should talk positively about treatments as well.
The costs? How much does it cost to put someone in a hospital bed for COVID? I am sure the outpatient therapy is cheaper. Not as cheap as the vaccine, however the vaccine would be expensive too if we did not commit billions into ramping up their production and guarantee a market.
As of now, even if you are vaccinated and test positive, you still are sidelined for COVID just the same. Not sure if there is a major productivity issue there.
