None of that is true. The modelling that predicted "death on a societal scale" has all been disproven long ago. If lockdowns ended tomorrow nothing would happen; they correlated with nothing at all. See most post here for links:

Ending lockdowns requires people understand the true severity of the situation, which is not "no severity" but is also not anywhere near the severity that was predicted. Vaccines won't help: coronaviruses have historically not been solvable with vaccines because they mutate too fast. The constant dramas over whether they work against new variants is indicative of what might be the equilibrium state of the vaccine strategy.
