SARS-CoV-2 is here to stay, along with many many variants, it's highly unlikely science will find one vaccine to rule them all!
It's far more likely that they might get into gear with an Influenza like approach, and try to get ahead of the mutation curve using statistical analysis. The problem being it looks like SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have a very short effective window, just a few months, and next year it'll be a different strain, and the year after and the year after. Proclamations of it's demise are to say the least, a little premature!
I think the bigger worry will prove to be the long term effects on children. It's becoming clear as each week passes that despite not being as lethal in children it potentially has some significant long term effects, and the long health outcomes are unknown for children and infants exposed to SARS-CoV-2, and they won't be known for a generation or more!
