The models being accurate is important so that if we do implement policy that end up worsening people’s lives we have proof that it is worth it.
The models differ in the scale of how bad it's going to be, not on whether it's going to be bad. Your stance is kind of like saying "Well doc, you're telling me I have sepsis, but you can't tell me how bad that's going to be so I'm refusing treatment until you can improve your models."
