I don't believe that 100% of people will be infected, and likely not with omicron; people are saying numbers like 50% to 80%. 50% is a lot of people, and if it happened all at once it would crash our health system, but it's not everyone.
It's also worthwhile to delay as much as possible, because treatments improve.

McMaster is working on a spray vaccine, which one would think could work better (because it's near the sites where one picks up the virus). More boosters is still possible, but again, it's people like the Pfizer CEO who are most enthusiastic about that.
