We will get the boosters when they are needed, just like we get our flu shots once a year.
Im pretty sure we will also keep wearing masks in public places because we know the added benefit it brings.
The anti vaxxers will keep doing what they are doing already and keep getting sick. Some will die and some will become long haulers.
I feel fortunate that all my friends and family are fully vaccinated except those under 16. They have parents who will have their kids get the vaccine when its approved for their age range. I also live in an area where vaccination is going really well. That gives me some peace of mind when I am out and about where I live.
There really is nothing we can do to get anti vaxxers to get the vaccine. It is what it is.
