Why would you not want to eradicate Covid?
I ask such an absurd question in response to your equally absurd question because of course everyone wants to eradicate these issues! But it is not possible to fully eliminate being monetarily poor (by somehow making everyone wealthy), or hunger (by overproducing food and creating distribution), etc.... and so a realization that tradeoffs must be made given our finite resources will better frame our collective decisions as a society.
