Seems to me if you want short term immunity <6 months keep getting the jabs at least twice a year - for how long nobody knows. Much longer immunity can maybe be obtained from just the first shots of vaccine to 'prime' the system and then expose the population to 'the real thing' ( herd immunity ) - which I suspect is what the government is doing by opening up society and not re-imposing lockdowns ( which IMHO would be political and economic suicide ). The world has never been, and will never be a risk free place.
It seems to me that herd immunity is the intention of the government too and they were originally going to try it without the benefit of vaccines.
You find 150,000 + deaths reassuring?

Reported Cases and Deaths by Country or Territory and look at deaths per million
to see how competent the government has been.
They are still up there with the Trumps and Bolsonaros
Back to the present
The link between infections and hospitalisations may have been weakened by the vaccines but it has not been broken.
Inevitably more infections will mean more hospitalisations and ultimately deaths. Also there will be a greater probability of the virus mutating.
By enforcing a few, almost trivial restrictions now - mask wearing, social distancing restrictions of crowds, the government could cut infections and hence hospitalisations and deaths without much effect on the economy and avoid further lockdowns which would have a much greater effect on the economy.
Instead they appear to be sticking their heads in the sand again and waiting till it's too late.
The hospitals and care services are near breaking point again and it's not yet winter.
