I don't know how people square "let everyone get it" with points about how immunity after getting it only seems to stick around for 2 months, or even less with variants! Unless you're saying we should purposefully infect everyone at the same time. I don't have a better answer, but I don't like pretending that this will magically improve just cuz everyone gets sick once.

This is in the context of New Zealand, which has a high vaccination rate. We're not talking about unvaccinated populations. AIUI lasting immunity is most robust through exposure to the virus after vaccination. Greater than booster shots.
