I’m not sure I understand your argument (and I’m guessing the downvoters aren’t either). This is a situation where the process will definitely, unambiguously, kill more people than moving forward with the vaccine.

I guess you’re suggesting culling a small fraction of the population might encourage better behavior at the voting booth? We already have plenty of historical evidence suggesting that’s not true.

I'm not sure how your last graph followed from GP's post - are you replying to the right comment?

GP was saying that the US health agencies haven't looked very good in the past few years, and on Covid, they really have fumbled the comms execution. Before Covid, these issues existed in the agencies, but that was highlighted by the emergency + executive branch that was either incapable or unwilling to make it a priority. That's when it's even more important for our processes, led by our major agencies, to be crisp.

None of this past year was unpredictable. If these health agencies are so affected by the whims of politics, it reveals a systemic flaw.
