It was one debated endgame, yes.

I’m no epidemiologist but I was hoping for eradication of the virus personally. But regular vaccines with my yearly flu shot isn’t bad at all, a 2nd shot in the other arm and I’m on my way each year.

Note that the yearly flu-vaccine is really against 3x different strains of the flu. Moving forward, we can likely have 2x flu vaccines + 1x COVID19 shot all in one, so you only get one shot and get all the protection you need each year. I don’t know what the progress is on the combined flu/covid shot, but its at least theoretically possible.

But the status quo (just get 2x different shots) really isn’t a big deal.
