1/3 Here is a free economic analysis of the Covid-19 vaccine distribution. AZ is still down 93k jobs. The fiscal impact (tax revenues) of recovering these jobs is close to $500M/yr at the state and local levels.
2/3 If we can shorten the recovery by just 6 months, we collect an additional $250M in taxes (the math is more complicated, but go with this). It then gets combined with savings on reduced govt assistance payments, for a combined fiscal impact of about $400M.
3/3 Therefore, getting this vaccine distributed quickly is the biggest & most efficient economic stimulus money can buy for a relatively low cost. Any policymakers that call themselves econ/job friendly need to get this done.
