Question # 3:
Given the “New Normal” vs. “Old Normal” mortality data cited above, provide a re-evaluation of the actions taken by Stephane Bancel in his response to the WHO declaring COVID-19 a pandemic. For each action, explain how it may have contributed to these mortality rates.
Re-evaluation of Stephane Bancel’s Actions During COVID-19 PandemicRe-evaluation of Stephane Bancel’s Actions During COVID-19 Pandemic
Action 1: Implementation of strict hygiene protocols in all facilities.
Evaluation: While hygiene protocols are essential for preventing the spread of infectious diseases, the intense focus on these measures may have inadvertently contributed to increased stress and anxiety among the population. This could have had an indirect impact on mortality rates, including those from unknown causes.
Action 2: Rapid development and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.
Evaluation: The rapid development of vaccines was a monumental effort to reduce the impact of the pandemic. However, there is ongoing research into the long-term effects of these vaccines, and any potential contribution to mortality rates is a subject of scientific investigation.
