I get your perspective if you're not worried about the risks. 1% chance of death, 10% chance of potential long term complication. As long as you're not one of the unlucky few, it has minimal impact on you.
But the main reason they want to get most people vaccinated is you can't slow down community spread of the virus until most people have defense either from their own antibodies after surviving or from vaccination. If we don't get to like 70% the pandemic will never end, it will stick around kinda like the flu. If we get to enough community resistance to stop it from spreading, things can go back to the old normal.
We're going to be wearing masks in 2022 because of people doing dumb shit around this vaccine.

If the bolded were true, then resuming everything as normal would be fine.
