It seems to me like case count and most long-term effects are linked. If we reduce case count sufficiently that we can stop quarantining, that improves mental health, and case count should be pretty strongly correlated with death and long-term effects.
In the case of rolling out vaccination, are you suggesting we do something differently? Is there any difference between optimizing for minimizing cases and minimizing those other things in a vaccine rollout? In my mind, to optimize for any of those things, you'd roll out vaccines asap.
