It is extremely unfortunate that there are so much misinformation and politicization of the vaccine, that leads to serious vaccine hesitancy.
That said, people who are concerned would be able to get the vaccine, and people who are not, will eventually get the disease and either die from it, or get natural immunity.
Both groups are starting to act as though COVID is over, in terms of social behavior and economic activity.
Although cruel, the path to the end of the pandemic is getting clearer.
Unfortunately, the biggest victims are those that are unable to get the vaccines (people in developing nations, children, and people with specific medical conditions etc.); some children do develop serious illness and long-term conditions when contracted COVID.
2 things I'm watching in the near term that may improve current situation: increasing vaccine availability in developing nations; clinical trials of vaccines for children under 12.

“If you buy a business just because it’s undervalued, then you have to worry about selling it when it reaches its intrinsic value. That’s hard. But if you can buy a few great companies, then you can sit on your ass. That’s a good thing.” - Charlie Munger
