The whole world will not be free of covid - certainly not for several years, possibly never.
This does not mean an indefinite delay to normality - many viruses kill thousands in the UK and millions worldwide each year. - eg: flu, measles, pneumonia.
Getting back to normality merely means reducing the consequences of the virus to a level at which it becomes an unremarkable risk - perhaps within the next three to six months.
The emotional response to somehow punish those who decide not to vaccinate is pointless. It is they who will mainly suffer the consequences of their own stupidity.
Setting up a bureaucracy to manage punishment, mandating medics not to treat those who have refused a vaccine, and/or pursuing some sort of legal remedy and enforcing fines and prison sentences for non-compliancee is all fantasy land.
