So how has this been calculated, given that it is not known how many ‘boosters’ are going to be needed?
Ah the blissful ignorance of optimists assuming people would voluntarily do the obviously right thing...
Obviously right thing? Perhaps that hubris should be saved until the results are in.....
It takes very very little government intervention to indirectly kill 1 out of 200 people. And when you move to life years lost, the government has to kill less than 1 in some absurdly high number like a 1000.

Yes, it's shameful that deer, minks, and other mammals that spread the virus refuse to line up for their shots.
even worse, most readers would think 50 billion is expensive. for the world.
And $8B to cure world hunger
I assume that you are makin ga joke or a reference to something becuase this number is absurd. That's a bag of chips per person.
I assume it refers to investment needed to create a system which would make hunger hit areas able to feed themselves, which would cure hunger world wide over the long term.
For how long period? That sounds very cheap. Like bit over dollar per person... Fraction a cent a day...
It's not 8B divided by the total world population, it's 8B divided by fraction of world population that is hungry. I don't know what that fraction is, but it doesn't work out to $1 per person.
Up from $6B just weeks ago!(?)
Oh I thought I heard 8. Could be eur/usd. But you’re probably right
and big pharma laughs all the way to the bank.
