What all of this means is that by measuring the effectiveness of vaccines merely in terms of “lives saved,” we could be seriously underestimating the full extent of the benefits that they offer. As things stand, in terms of the cost effectiveness of health interventions, vaccines are already considered one of public policy’s “best buys.”
所有这些意味着，仅仅通过测量疫苗在“拯救生命”方面的效率，我们已经可能大大低估了疫苗所提供的完整的巨大益处。在健康干预的成本效率方面，疫苗已被认为是公共政策的“最佳支出”。
