These concerns about over-caution seem common. I have a little trouble sympathizing. For me the fantasies are indeed about "when the pandemic ends". Not when *I* am protected. It's about the community - I'm not safe until we're all safe. Perhaps both strategies are important.
But you are very likely safe if fully vaccinated, even if we’re all not safe. That sentiment applies to interconnected nations, not immunized individuals. And the implications of your position are that lonely and isolated grandmas, though vaccinated, get no near-term relief.
Seems like this discussion is difficult to have in a binary way. I think it's realistically more like a spectrum (as this very article mentions). So it would help to zoom in on what behaviors we are talking about exactly. Like

Would love to see your framing in the science around post-vax protocols! So many mixed messages and don’t know how to interpret the “we don’t know yet whether vaccinated people can still carry.” Some reporting as of its a 50/50 chance, others saying no reason to expect you can.
When vaccinated I intend to do some things I wouldn't do now, but not all the things I would do when the pandemic is over.
Another data point for the general principle that Americans are determined to worry about the wrong things. Fave example: child abductions are *extremely* rare, yet we turned our culture upside down and made prisoners of our kids out of misplaced, media-stoked panic.
The #1 item in our "worry budget" should be the #ClimateEmergency. Everything else pales in comparison. @AlexSteffen
