    They was just one example.

    Let’s not forget that we are using hospital resources for Covid patients which would otherwise be available or not required at all. There is a social cost there.

    When people are sick with Covid, it affects their economic productivity. Not that we should really care, but sick workers make less money for the billionaires.

    The journal is one peer reviewed source that shows there is congnitive decline that correlates strongly with the severity of a Covid infection. Reducing the number of infections, and reducing the severity (both things vaccines can do very well) reducing the collective cognitive impact to the population and the knock-on effects of those cognitive issues.

      The journal article also shows that the affect diminished over time, presumably because the covid variant reduced in severity compared to early versions. This reduces the affect on the population and reduces the need for a vaccine. Especially a vaccine meant for a group that was never high risk to begin with.
