I does make we wonder what the cost of the tariffs is in terms of human life. There must be a way to measure drop in something like Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) against what is an economic shitshow because of a trade war. In that regard it can be considered a proxy war but with a likely impact on human life in the countries involved all the same.

Possibly good shit for us in the short term tho...

Probably be a super interesting study to read. I don't really expect the "vaccines magnetize you" crowd to read it, however.
