Israel is already seeing its hard work pay off. It leads the world in COVID vaccination, and new data shows a dramatic decrease in hospitalizations just a few weeks after the 2nd dose. We are, unfortunately, moving more slowly than Israel, but we’ve adopted one lesson of theirs: opening vaccinations to all older people.

This gives us a glimpse of the wonderful future we have to look forward to: an end to this pandemic. Our hospitals are strained and many are dying, but there is an end. It’s within reach, but we have to stretch a little further and grab it!
