The assumption that there must be a solution, and if someone isn't presenting one then they're a bad and unhelpful person, is the fallacy at the root of a lot of these problems. It is possible for problems to exist that people, and especially governments, cannot solve, or for which all the "solutions" are worse than the problem. Pointing out when that seems to be the case is not problematic, and in fact is a valuable service that should be praised, exactly because so many people get stuck in this mental rut of "if you don't have a solution you shouldn't speak at all".
Also, to me at least there is very clear motivation for governments to keep people alive and profit motive for vaccine manufacturers to make vaccines that work.
Unfortunately these days we seem to live in a world where 100% effort is put into criticizing actions and 0% into searching for a better solution.
