Here's the real talk: all pandemics end. For this one, we have a choice of how it ends, for billions: infection or vaccination. It's that simple, unfortunately. The idea we can slooooooowly get to vaccinating people while they all somehow avoid infection for years is not tenable.

I am so fucking glad Zeynep is not a “lockdown for years” liberal crybaby. She knows what the right answer is and how it should be done.

Why the lockdown worship in so many? I have never understood.
