This is the commonly held reason given for PM's support of the bill...and I agree.
And even with the unintended consequences, for the most part, the bill still begins to meet the goals of the public health community.
I still dont see the sellout. I would describe more as a trade-off...such is politics. (The FISA bill with retroactive immunity for the telecomms was a sellout - no public good at all comes out of that concession.).
