This is such a strange defeatist view. Develop the vaccines, worry later about whether you're going to be able to get people to take it. If we develop something that prevents all transmission, why do you think folks won't want that?

1. Mercedes-Benz makes cars
2. When a car hyroplanes, it slides on water
3. A hydroplane sounds like a plane that goes on water
4. Planes fly through the air

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 & replaced it with a restored stream & 1000 acre park in the city’s centre, not only did it transform the city’s public life & economic success, but the traffic got better.
The traffic got BETTER.
