Here's another couple of "conflicting statements", WHO..... The World Health Organisation, state they think the virus will be "got on top of and done with in two years or less", other top advisors instantly come out of the woodwork with contrary statements like "This is never going away, we will have to live with it as the new normal from now on".
Now who's right, and who's wrong?,

Both are right, and the two people statements are not in conflict unless misquoted.

Taken from the BBC which matches other sources:-

"Sir Mark Walport, a member of the government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, warned on Saturday that coronavirus would be present "forever in some form or another".

His comments differ from those of the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who said he hoped the pandemic would be over within two years."

The BBC reporter looks like he had nothing useful to add, but had to write something, but he was smart enough to say the comments "differ".

Of course they do, they were talking about two different aspects.
