In South Africa, the poor will derive a small benefit from vaccines as immunity levels are already at 60%. The rich will derive a major benefit as immunity levels are low at 20%.

Lockdowns were maintained to maximise the number of people getting immunity via the vaccine as opposed to the virus.
The strategy was sold on the basis that it is the only way out i.e. removing the ethical concerns regarding the costs.

The costs of lockdowns are disproportionally carried by the poor. For the poor, there are hardly any benefits.
Case isolation is difficult to impossible for shack dwellers. Contacts are traced for the rich, 60% of C-19 fatalities are missed amongst the poor.

In SA the costs include, almost a year lost for 95% of learners. An increase in hunger with 14% of children i.e. 3 million going hungry. 28% South Africans suffering from depression with hunger and unemployment as the main cause (not Covid).

School dropout increased from 231,000 to 753,000 , the highest in 20 years. C-19 teacher deaths followed the countrywide trajectory with no impact by school closures whatsoever.

Lockdowns until vaccine rollout was not the only way out. In townships it was over before vaccine rollouts.
A cost benefit analysis was imperative. Townships derived hardly any benefit, only costs.
