Right, but for the most part your optimism is about better managing an ongoing pandemic, which is certainly not what most are hoping for.

Get the active infections down and roll out a (well targeted) vaccine quickly and you end a pandemic.
I'm saying there's reason to be optimistic that we will be able to respond successfully even if the current vaccines don't end the pandemic (and it likely would be reasonably quick too, our tools are much better now than 12 months ago).
At some level of production capacity, convincing people in high risk areas to social distance and convincing people to get another vaccination are the hard parts.
