It has been fixed there needs to be more than one point of failure now. MCAS was designed to prevent a nose high pitch attitude while hand flying the aircraft with the flaps in the up position.

The first crash was the result of the wrong AOA vane being installed and it gave the wrong information to flight instruments and the crew not flying the aircraft. The second was a bird stile that nocked one of the AOA vanes off.
