Your right in one regard....they are not in the same family of viruses...If you believe we will eliminate Covid-19 so easily then...God bless you... I hope your right...As for me, I am more cynical..

Oh it definitely won't be easy, and a vaccine will not eliminate COVID overnight. It will take a long time for supply to ramp up and immunization coverage to become widespread enough to arrest the spread of the disease worldwide, and even if we pursue a strategy of global eradication, it will takes years to wipe it out completely even with effective vaccines.

This is just an encouraging first step.

Yes, it is a good first step.  I'll give you that. But, we are in for one hell of a roller coaster ride over the next year or so. Worse than 2020.

So.. what do you propose? Should we just sit around and wait?
