COVID VACCINATION OUTCOME OF MOST IMPORTANCE

 

Plausibly, the key metric is reduction in hospitalizations.

More likely, deaths will trump, partly because they are so final, partly because hospitalizations are still somewhat qualitative, but deaths are less ambiguous.

More complex measures, such as "quality-adjusted life-years of life expectancy" might make more sense but are less likely to get public acceptance.
