maybe go for a “its bad because of the return on investment” angle? for the amount of literal billions we have thrown at it, perhaps its ok to expect more. if you gave me a mere couple of billion, i’d make healthy lunches for school kids to foster education and health outcomes (2-4-1!)
i really do get your attempt to spin it this way, but … honestly, no. dying of measles is not dodging a bullet. the child died.
