Quarantine and the occasional lockdowns would be less harmful than that level of use of interferons
I don't know anything about interferons. What effects do those have that other vaccines don't?
These is at a higher dose but gives you a sense:
A vaccine trains your immune system to respond, and interferon therapy is throwing the immune system into DEFCON 1
Useful and an achievement for Cuba but still worse than other social interventions
They are using it to treat infections.
Not sure what they are doing to treat cases these days, but after they rolled out their RBD vaccines to everyone in 2021 cases and deaths flatlined.
Cases would exhibit some seasonality instead of going to zero for years of new variants
This is not unique to Cuba of course
And of course, even China eventually succumbed to "letting it rip" instead of eradication which was, at one point, actually feasible.
I suppose 'feasible' is a subjective word, but eradication is still possible, and is a proletarian aim. China was being sadly ahead of it's time, but in so doing showed the world a model for it
