The obvious historic fact is that all pandemics end—they did even before vaccination. This one, too, will end. The question before us is how: if we vaccinate rapidly and globally, it will end with much less suffering. Alternative: acute crisis ends, but with much more suffering.

Let's shore up our public health infrastructure? Yes. Let's study what went wrong so we can meet the next challenge better? Yes. Let's get through the rest of this with minimum possible suffering? YES. Permanent pandemic from a coronavirus we can vaccinate against? Come on.
