Part 9/11:
The Ambiguous Goal of "Everyone's Safety"
Wilhouse critiques the World Health Organization’s slogan, "We're not safe until we're all safe," arguing it sets an unrealistic expectation that the virus can be eradicated universally within our lifetime. Instead, he views COVID-19 as an ongoing public health challenge that will require continuous management, not complete elimination.
Outlook: Optimism Amid Challenges
While acknowledging the difficulties ahead, Wilhouse expresses increased optimism compared to early 2021. The rapid development and high efficacy of vaccines provide hope for managing the pandemic effectively.
