Well... to be fair, that is a valid (though pessimistic) outlook -- herd immunity is a thing, and is largely (IIRC) how the Spanish Flu pandemic ended. I'd certainly hope that 100 years on, our medical knowledge has advanced enough to where our response doesn't require it, though (certain politicians aside). I'd gladly take a yearly vaccination over this.
