And a vaccine doesn't immediately solve the problem; distribution is a thing, plenty of people who will refuse to take the vaccine (especially early adopters). Basically, even if there was a vaccine released TODAY, it would still take at least six months before we can start going back to normal, and (I believe I read about) three years before we can consider the disease to have ran its course.

Hopefully this doesn't turn into a very messy public fight given that I fully expect a lot of schools and workplaces to require vaccination to physically enter a school or an office.


Simply wearing a mask has been a messy public fight. It would seem likely that fighting over vaccine requirements will be at least as messy.
