Oh, I know why I'm being downvoted, this isn't my first rodeo, but I appreciate the support :) The biggest thing, as far as I understand, is people want to go back to normal, and by definition, normal was a world before covid-19, so normal must mean that covid-19 as an active virus in the world should not exist. The problem is the covid-19 vaccine does not remove covid-19 from being transmissible in the world, as admitted by the CDC and every vaccine manufacturer [1] [2] [3]. We don't even know if these vaccines, in spite of being developed by very intelligent teams, will have any long-term serious side-effects, there are no long term tests. Guess what, the human race is the current test, and if the test goes bad, if we do have a >50% vaccination rate, in the worst case scenario, that will be very very bad for everyone. So what problem are we solving with the vaccines? If we are solving hospitalizations, I have read many conflicting articles about the actual state of hospitals, so it is hard to know if we are actually solving that problem. If we are solving the problem of going back to normal, then the vaccines are not a good long term route. Every solution that does not contribute to solving the problem is just busy-work at best, and creating other problems at the worst. All that said, I'm not saying people should or shouldn't isolate, social distance, vaccinate, but I am saying that the current solutions our world leaders are pushing do not bring us back to "normal," as-in pre-covid.
