We'll stick up a link to some of the GiveWell resources.
I guess the back of the envelope way that I would estimate this is you've got these numbers, I guess, from the World Bank or the World Health Organization of how many kids in India are not being fully vaccinated.
And then also estimates of how many children in India are dying of vaccination-preventable diseases.
And maybe you could say, well, you just look at the ratio there and you say, well, if there's 10 million children that are going through each cohort, not fully vaccinated, and then, you know, 100,000 of them are dying, then you'd say, well, it's one in 100.
So it's 100 to one ratio.
So if you could vaccinate 100 extra children, you might save one life.
Is that like non-idiotic way of doing it?
Yeah, that makes sense.
You're still kind of improving and developing and like reducing your per child reach costs.
So yeah, you hope to kind of increase that cost effectiveness over time.
And I guess, yeah, the people who get in early help to fund that development of the product, basically, and yeah, could maybe have a bigger contribution.
So SMS reminders is pretty intuitive.
I guess you get numbers of parents, maybe from the hospital where a child was born, and then you message them about the vaccination schedule.
What's this gossip intervention then?
Yeah.
Okay.
So you identify a village.
I guess it seems like a significant fraction of India's population is living in villages of 500 to 1,000 people or so.
Is that kind of where you're targeting?
Yeah.
