That’s false, hospitalizations are on the rise right now, and increasing evidence is coming out showing that western vaccines are not terribly effective against omicron. Furthermore, experts are saying that US will basically have to gamble with what strain to make vaccines for going forward.
Most importantly, western vaccines are not effective at preventing long covid which affects around 17% of the population. Finally, these vaccines are not sufficient to drop reproduction rate below one which is what’s actually needed to contain the pandemic.
Millions of people in the west are not shrugging off the effects of covid, and it’s incredibly ghoulish to dismiss the suffering of these people.
China took the sane approach of not relying solely on vaccines to contain the pandemic and did not run an experiment on their population the way the west did. We are still finding out what long term effects of this experiment will be and how many millions of people will develop chronic health problems as a result.
The economic fallout from letting the pandemic run wild is a secondary effect. A lot of the economic problems we’re seeing today are a direct result of the failure to contain the pandemic. Long term there will be a huge economic shock from a combination of large numbers of people not being able to fully participate in the workforce and putting a strain on the healthcare system.
Again, we can see the wisdom in the approach that China took given that it’s the only major economy that continues to show growth right now.

Does economic ruin count as a chronic health problem? Cause I have that… I mean, asking for a friend.
