Even better, the COVID-19 vaccines have the potential to end the ravages of the pandemic if enough people are vaccinated to secure so-called “herd immunity” – somewhere in the range of 75% to 95% of the population, depending on which expert(s) one might care to believe – and so staunch the scourge of COVID-19, at least domestically.
