The cost is something absolutely nobody wants to discuss but it is vital to do so. Yeah “slowing the spread” is important in a vacuum where we live with no friction and spherical cows but here in the real worth that one goal competes with literally everything else.
Asking society to myopically focus on nothing but “slowing the spread” of one very specific illness for years on end is, quite frankly, madness. There is vastly more to life than just living it to slow the spread of exactly one disease.
At some point in the near future, perhaps right today, people need to acknowledge that Covid and all its variants past present and future will be around forever. They can either learn to return to full normal 2019 life or piss an entire generation of people away on a battle that cannot ever be won.

Now it's pretty much guaranteed we will all get covid, and probably multiple times. Any of the tools we have now will not prevent that, just delay it. I'm not recommending dropping them altogether but we'll need to find a balance. To go from crisis mode into discussing long-term strategy.
