Ugh, that’s no better than we did without vaccines, and probably less locking down, in previous pandemics.

I'll nitpick that a bit, because our other experiences are with flu strains. We don't really know whether and how corona virus pandemics are different. Plus, the expected short lived immunity means that we need effective vaccines, even if they're not delivered on time to affect this round of the pandemic. It should hedge strongly against future bouts.
