there yet...per today's Johns Hopkins COVID-19 data report for the U.S., there were 4,246 COVID deaths last week (i.e. 220K/yr)...although this is a lower amount than during the height of the pandemic, it's nothing to 'sneeze' at...consequently, the CDC, et al, is advocating for measures to keep the pressure on the virus by continuing to push for vaccinations/boosters.
There is also concern for those who have already contracted COVID, as seen in the attached link with the headline.."Repeat COVID-19 infections increase risk of organ failure, death"...along with increased morbidity (my term) from 'Long COVID'...i.e. even among 'Young, Healthy' survivors.
Dr. Paul Offit is a really good resource when it comes to COVID-19 and all viruses...but like minded people can differ in tactics...btw, since you favor Dr. Offit's view, consider what he has to say about Dr. Fauci...(from...https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/102275)

My research life has been in the world of rotaviruses, and I first started working on rotaviruses in the early 1980s. At the same time I was doing that, NIAID was also working on rotaviruses. In fact, they were the first, in collaboration with Wyeth, to make a rotavirus vaccine. So I've known Tony for 40 years.
That vaccine had a problem. It was only on the mrket for about 10 months before it was taken off because of an issue with safety. And Tony was always a very clear voice. If there was a problem with safety, he wanted to identify it and figure out how common or rare it was, and deal with the facts. His sense of judgment, his intelligence, his knowledge of rotavirus, even though he wasn't necessarily a rotavirus researcher -- that really impressed me.
But I think the thing that impressed me the most about Tony was the first time I heard him speak, I was in my early 30s and had never heard anybody speak that clearly. He told a story. He drew you right in. His language and his ability to express difficult scientific concepts was just brilliant. I'd never heard anybody that clear and that compelling as a speaker. So ever since then, I sort of modeled myself after his talks, because I never thought it was possible to be able to tell a story with a basic science talk. But he did that.
