There is no doubt the MCAS can be fixed.
But I would say there with all the bad press the 737 MAX has received, there must be some doubt as to whether the 737 MAX will fly for decades to come.
I would say the flying public will need some convincing before they consider the plane safe.

One of the reasons the DC10 is used for cargo, is very early on the DC10 faced it's own own 'bad design' issues that resulted in several fatal crashes.
A fault in the DC10 cargo door meant it sometimes did not close, which then resulted in an explosive decompression.
That fault and those early crashes greatly helped the 747 win the race to be the dominant wide body passenger jet of that time.
