Assuming that Omicron (or the next variant) is more contagious than Delta, then pretty much everybody who's not a hermit will either be vaccinated, recovered/recovering or dead in the next couple of years. Possibly more than one of these categories, unfortunately. That said, why not improve the odds for you and others AND reduce the ability of the virus to spread to naive hosts...

And if you don't like any of the current vaccines, then you're certainly not going to like the disease itself. The goal is to keep people out of hospital and to build up sufficient resistance to (hopefully) turn COVID into a bad flu or better. It seems too variable to go away at this instant - we've not gotten rid of flu but it's been less fatal.
