The other aspect is that negative side effects are much more prevalent with COVID. So keeping cases down is still important

But how widespread are the negative side effects, do you have data on this ?

There have been a bunch of studies that have come out, with a range of quality in case selection methodology eg. biased sampling, so its still early days. I've seen estimates ranging from 2% - 33% for effects up to 7 months after infection for mild-moderate symptomatic cases. But generally, it seems quite a serious issue.

This is a good review on whats out there: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01283-z
