None of what you described is a path to normalcy. We've been doing it for over a year. Look at Australia, they have concentration camps. Vaccines don't really stop the spread of the virus, neither do they stop you from getting infected, they just reduce the symptoms and the odds of death. Which is still great, but it's not stopping the virus. We need next level meds, real vaccines.

> Vaccines don't really stop the spread of the virus Technically correct, they don't stop the spread, but they significantly reduce it. It's kinda logical, isn't it? The virus must win over your antibodies to replicate. Currently breakthrough infections happen 1-2% of the time in the vaccinated, so even if there are 10x as many asymptomatic, unreported cases, the protective effect is still huge. This is really important to keep R < 1, which effectively means "stopping the virus". Eventually. In addition, the 90% reduced chance of hospitalisation is of great help to the healthcare system.
