IMF pushes G20 states to back $50bn global mass vaccination drive
26th May 2021
The IMF believes that support for a global mass vaccination programme will generate significantly more benefits than costs - even with a $50bn price tag.
This is very much in line with the thinking of Alex Tabarrok whose work with the US government has emphasised this.
Indeed, whilst there are substantial private benefits from mass vaccination, the public benefits - and the positive externalities associated with them - are such that such a scheme could accelerate both growth and development.
