"vaccines will take months to control the virus" Don't be blinded by the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel
" ... although Israel, the UK, and, soon, the US will enter a new reality with the virus largely tamed by vaccines, global vaccination lags badly. Even in the best of circumstances, vaccines will take months to control the virus. And we are far from the best of circumstances.
Globally, vaccines would not crush the curve in the short-term even if there were enough of them -- which there aren't. There is still not enough vaccine in most countries, and low-income countries in particular lack sufficient vaccine. The virus and its variants are gathering strength and speed. Global cooperation is essential if we are to win our continuing war against Covid.
