How many lives were lost in New Zealand? Your argument doesn't make sense.
- that_guy_iain 6y agoThe argument of it saving millions of lives in the future, is not good enough for you? And there are more people in my city than in New Zealand. You can't compare the world to a tiny island. Your comparision is unfair and unrealistic. Europe for example couldn't just close it's borders, it's logistically impossible.
- ketamine__ 6y agoApproving vaccines faster does save lives going forward. That is the whole point.
- kurthr 6y agoUmm your argument is that we needed to speed up the delivery of vaccines to save 300k people who have already died, but also think that what happened in New Zealand is a reasonably likely possibility? So would you have also given an untested vaccine to everyone in New Zealand in March? Your answer seems to be yes... and it probably would have only killed or maimed 100ppm or ~5 thousand people, and it would have saved roughly 0.
