You've been lied to. It's an endemic disease which 100% of the population will eventually get. It's just that with vaccines a lot fewer older people will die, and a lot fewer middle aged people will experience health issues for an extended period of time. Before vaccines came to market, I could understand what they're doing, but now it doesn't make any sense: they're just postponing the inevitable - the only way out is through. They should vaccinate as many people as they can and remove all restrictions.
