Not long ago, it was hard to get a vaccine. The shots were in short supply and reserved for the most vulnerable populations. Not long before that, vaccines weren’t available at all, and one COVID wave after another was killing hundreds of thousands of Americans.

I supported the initial lockdowns, hoping they would buy us time to find other ways to keep the virus at bay. I then continued to support lighter, more-targeted restrictions later in the pandemic.
