Maybe, but this was said after the 2nd shot -- no need for a 3rd shot, yet I just got my 3rd shot in 8 months and likely this will be mandatory for everyone. I expect we'll continue to get more shots after that -- and the pharmacy wants me back in 3 months for my 4th.
"shouldn't" is different than "won't". Back 6 months ago we were saying 70-80% vaccination rate for eligible would get us out of this. We're at 91% for 12 and up and 87% for 5+. Yet we're seeing daily record broken every single day.
This virus is going have to fizzle out on its own. Hopefully sooner than later. Or it will become endemic and will require yearly or semi-annual boosters.
EDIT: just realized the massive contradiction -- it will fizzle or become endemic. It can 'fizzle' then become endemic. It's one or the other.
