The high rates of breakthroughs mean even very-highly-vaxxed populations have had case surges. Rt is going to oscillate around 1, forever.

Even if it’s around 1 forever, if the effects are mild as they are with vaccinated people, it’ll be manageable as flu is.

Since the weaker among us died with the first wave, it was already as manageable as the flu.

The mortality under 70 is pretty low.

Would we be happy to let 1% of the survivors die? Would 2% be acceptable?
