This post seems to be addressing Europe rather than the US. From my perspective, the current policy goals in my area aim to keep essential services open. The unvaccinated are soaking up hospital capacity and other critical areas (e.g. schools) are struggling to stay open due to staffing pressure. Therefore, restrictions and mandates are still being applied to get people vaccinated. Boosters are offered to ward off infection which can smooth out the spread. I don't know anyone seriously entertaining a "zero covid" dream of the future.
