This article is adapted from the February 3 episode of the Public Health On Call podcast, in which host Stephanie Desmon interviewed historians of medicine Graham Mooney and Jeremy Greene about what the end to the COVID-19 pandemic might look like, what history tells us about vaccine hesitancy, and one way this time might be different.
How do pandemics end?
Jeremy Greene: This question is often left to a relatively optimistic popular imagination that epidemics end with eradication either [a virus] burns its way through a community and just ends through some sort of natural process, or it is blocked through successful containment strategies and the ability to actually get the reproduction quotient down.

One Country Has Jumped Ahead on Vaccinations

One nation has already provided more than a quarter of its people with at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, outpacing every other country in the world and more than sextupling the percentage in the United States. During one recent three-day period, in fact, it administered a dose of the vaccine to a higher percentage of its population than the U.S. has altogether. Nearly three-fourths of those over age 60 have gotten their first shot. And most of the population could be vaccinated by the end of March, which would be earlier than any nation except, perhaps, tiny Palau and the Vatican. The government is now preparing “passports” for the twice-jabbed that will exempt them from quarantines.
