He seems pessimistic that a vaccine will eradicate the virus, and it may take multiple vaccines if the virus mutates, but I read the above quote as saying that their goal is delay the spread until a vaccine can protect at least some significant portion of the population. Measles has been around for centuries, but we are not all going to get it.
