The virus will be out there for years yet, so people have to learn to live with it and have regular vaccination boosters as required.

The data says no such thing.
You are back at "vaccinate the vulnerable" which is the new "shield the vulnerable".
The virus may well be "out there" for years yet but had we followed your defeatist approach we'd have opened up before we even had a vaccine.
Why anyone would consider mask wearing as "unnecessary" when there's a respiratory virus going around is absolutely beyond me. It costs next to nothing and has some impact. If that keeps society open all the better.
