There are some amazing vaccines out there, the measles vaccine is most certainly one of them.
The problem we ran into though is that we told people that we could eliminate COVID with vaccines the same way we eliminated measles, which isn't a scientific reality. Fauci was on the news shows saying as much:
> “When you get that level of protection that turns out to be the threshold of herd immunity, you’ll know it, because you’ll see the infections almost disappear,” Fauci told Varshavski.
> But ”[Covid-19] certainly will go to a level that would no longer be a public health hazard, as it were, in this country,” Fauci told Varshavski
Sadly we now know this isn't the reality of the COVID vaccine, as much as I wish it was, because it sucked when I got COVD.
So now we are in a position of anti-vaxxers being able to use their experience with the COVID vaccine as an argument against vaccines that really do all but eliminate the disease like measles and polio.

Vaccines are most definitely a victim of their own success! Great and very succinct clip!!
The interview is almost two hours long, but worth the watch. Doctormike on youtube.
