So if the AZ vaccine was the only vaccine available to save Americans’ lives (which it’s not) and it was 100% effective (which it’s not) and the FDA delayed its rollout by a month, by your argument the FDA’s delay would have caused 105,000 (3500 x 30) unnecessary deaths.
1. Those numbers don’t work. There are other vaccines in play which can have a disproportionate impact on the death rate if they’re properly targeted at people at highest risk of severe infection. You don’t need herd immunity to prevent most deaths.
2. I’m still not seeing the ‘two million’ deaths you mentioned?
