FET #11: And no one cares...

from Fresh Economic Thinking · host Cameron Murray

It has been a tumultuous 2022. Residual COVID panic persists in the news, but the real health issues this year are not COVID. Deaths from all causes are up 17% in Australia in 2022 and are similarly elevated in many countries. We look at Australia’s COVID vaccine compensation scheme and dig into the puzzle of why the media seems to be ignoring 2,600 injured people who have made compensation claims. These health outcomes were a policy choice. But no one seems to care.Follow Cameron and Jonathan on Twitter.Theme music: Happy Swing by Serge Quadrado Music under Creative Commons Licence CC BY-NC 4.0Please leave a comment with your ideas for future podcast conversations and Substack posts.Thanks for reading Fresh Economic Thinking!
