Indeed, the latest Covid data shows that absent any major shocks - such as a mutant strain that is fully immune to any existing vaccines - the pandemic should be a thing of the past relatively soon.
Since hospitalizations are lagged relative to time of infection the US Corona outbreaks peaked back in the second half of December. Finally, the vaccine rollout continues in the US at a rapid pace of around 1mn doses per day and a cumulative 35.2mn doses administered through February 2rd.
This continued improvement – and acceleration of economic growth due to little need for lockdowns and restrictions – suggests that the US economy - and broader society as well - should be able to move beyond covid some time in the early summer.

Aren't you misreadung your source?
It says "absent any major shocks - such as a mutant strain that is fully immune to any existing vaccines - the pandemic should be a thing of the past relatively soon."
Which mean, roughly translated, "this will work IF there are no immune strains".
You are reading that statement as evidence that an immune strain DOES exist.

With milestones having been moved in the blink of an eye. I expect strict movement and liberty controls over the population to last at least 7 years, especially if Democrats are in total control of the government as they love lockdowns for everyone (but not for elite politicians who are exempt, of course).
