My point is that I would have supported faster vaccine development that by now everybody in the world would be twice vaccinated and possibly with a booster jab developed for delta variant specifically. Somehow everybody responding to my post manages to omit this and talk about things they don't understand but strongly believe, i.e., restricting our rights is cool but developing vaccines with volunteers who agree to get infected deliberately is bad because muh ethics. We have plenty of unused buildings in this pandemic. Take any big hotel which could be easily refitted for hospital purposes. A couple of years ago my native country Latvia closed a lot of hospitals to reduce costs. There were even protests against those closures but the government in its infinite wisdom knows best. As far as I know, those building are still there, in many cases used for some trivial purposes. And if we talk about health care in Afghanistan (which I studied closely) then they managed to provide basic care (vaccinations, antibiotics, diabetic medicines) for about $10 per person per year (thanks to the donations from IMF, World Bank and WHO which most internet commentators detest). Yes, the basic emergency care really costs so little if we are forced to cut out all bullshit and reduce our standards a little but still keep most of the gains in child and adult mortality. Since the Taliban has returned, it is possible that they will lose this funding and highly probable that all the gains will be lost in the next few years. But those we don't care about because muh they deserve it for being so stupid to be born there or something...
