I increasingly see people willing to believe things are so bad because this is a superzombieantigencalifragilisticexpialidocious virus, with extraordinary properties. Tragically, as @michaelmina_lab says, it's a straightforward, almost textbook virus. The failure is the response.
Breakthroughs are happening for sure, and elderly experience immunosenescence, so this will be one more disease that especially endangers them. Right now, there are pockets of unvaccinated/uninfected almost everywhere—some larger. But especially given Delta, this phase will end.

After that, we'll see severity in non-immunologically-naive population: a different ballgame, but similar to other post-pandemic eras. Likely >HCoVs (judging from breakthroughs but hard to tell yet) but maybe ~seasonal flu (why I think we should be aggressive about it).
