Rising vaccination rates mean #COVID19 case numbers will fall a lot even before reaching herd immunity. And sooner than you might think. That’s because cases decline via exponential decay.

Develop vaccine -> mass produce it -> get people to take it -> repeat. We should get better at it as time goes on.

What about the resistance of countries to maintaining additional public health measures as required? Many seem to feel that vaccines is their magic bullet way out.

Agreed. I'm optimistic that boosters will be developed as needed, but the vaccine equity issue is fundamental. Clearest solution: Massively scale up vaccine production worldwide. Whatever it takes.

Vaccination (i.e. actually doing the jabs) as big a challenge as supply? While it's a different (and smaller) sort of rollout, smallpox vaccination took 19 years.
