Yet as per usual you miss the obvious, the higher the rate of infection, the greater the chance of a mutation leading to either vaccine escape or a significant reduction in the amount of protection offered by current vaccines.
Consider the Lambda variant, whilst not yet marked as a variant of concern the scientists do have some worries as research/investigation continues.
Whilst we do (and have) need to get back to a degree of normality. We should exercise caution & be planning for what's required in the event a new variant that could escape the vaccine etc. this means balancing people's freedoms with ensuring that we're significantly better prepared than we were.
To think that this is all over is at best folly, at worst utter stupidity.
