At that time, the alternative would have been lockdown after lockdown after lockdown for many years, which as even you must be aware by now, serves only to slow the virus down. It does not eliminate it.
If there is the collective will it can eliminate it as demonstrated by countries who had in their own domestic population. The absence of collective will globally, and availability of vaccines, has changed the game.

Only the immunisation programme has enabled us to use different tactics to fight the virus.
Yet even as late as October last year with a number of vaccines moving through clinical trials you retained your, purely speculative, position.

No, jfman, I said we MAY not need any more jabs. It depends what happens next.
For someone who 25% of their input into the forum is crystal ball gazing citing your speculation on the future of the television as “inevitable” I’m quite surprised how frequently said crystal ball has been faulty over Covid.
