>Are you claiming that every developed country's medical bodies do not have an incentive to make the right decisions around vaccines? It is a question of how aligned the individual's incentives and the incentives of the medical body in question. And often it is extremely misaligned. So that is what is I mean when I said there is "no incentive". So what do I mean by that? When such an organization recommend X, it just mean that if everyone follows that recommendation, the population wide metric, that can be immediately measured or that is often measured will show good beneficial result. So here if people follow the recommendation two things can happen 1. The number of covid deaths will drop. This is something that will show up immediately, because everyone was focused on daily death toll. 2. A substantial number of people will have adverse effects. This is something that can be managed (in terms of public opinion) So the incentive of the organization end up being favorable to the recommendation despite the very good chance of point 2 happening. With financial incentives, this is just more pronounced... > What are you referring to? Any group of human beings. | ||
