Vaccines didn't prevent the spread of smallpox either, until they finally did.

We're not smallpoxing Covid out of existence without a much better vaccine.

Are you sure? At this point we can vaccinate almost everyone, and we wouldn't have to reduce the R factor by all that much.

It might not be a feature of the vaccine, but a feature of the combination immune system + virus which doesnt allow us to smallpox Covid out of existence.
