Now that almost every person has been exposed to at least some minute amount of COVID and/or a vaccine, why are we still pushing 3rd/4th doses? Can't we just treat it like an endemic virus like the flu?

We can't because it is too damaging to health. Long COVID and death rates are too high, it wipes out anyone even close to immune compromised, like having had a cold recently. A wave instantly overloaded hospitals in Germany, which is well equipped to handle it all... Many of those people will be disabled for months if not permanently. People are dying in USA by the thousands. It is way too easy to catch, being more spreadable than measles. There is no currently working treatment besides supportive. (The one remaining mAb has some low remaining efficacy in old people.)
