> It might be the right approach but that’s not at all “obvious,”
1. When the vaccine roll-out was started, there was no proof that it prevented infection - only that it prevented death and serious illness and hospitalisation.
2. In the UK it is estimated that having the vaccine in the first wave and vaccinating the priority groups woudl have saved over 90% of deaths that occurred.
(1) is a good argument for why you should start there when you have that ignorance. (2) is a meaningless hypothetical that does not describe the current situation. Neither addresses even some of the example questions I’ve raised which don’t even cover the space of questions which should be considered.
If you think the answers are “obvious”, you’re either ignoring relevant questions or you are filling in answers with your own assumptions.

It's pretty obvious
