"We may never get back to what life was like before the coronavirus,"
"we need 70% to 85% of Americans vaccinated" The US has about 50%, Ontario about 65%
With that degree of vaccination - the one we haven't reached yet - it talks about "approaching a degree of normality", not getting your old life back.
That interview with Fauci was published in January, before the wide spread of the variants of concern. If you're expecting atomically accurate predictions in the early stages of a global fight against a new virus you're gonna have a bad time.
That was conditional on getting enough people vaccinated, and I don't know how much consideration was given to variants back then. That was then, this is now, and we don't have enough people vaccinated yet.
Nobody back then had - and nobody now has - a fully functioning crystal ball. The ride is not over. The best chance for a happy outcome individually is to get vaccinated, but it isn't a gold-plated guarantee that anyone will be immune from harm.

You don't have free choice to wear your seat belt, drive drunk, run stop signs and red lights, and a hundred other things. How is this different?
