Pretty straight-forward to me. What we know, and what we've known even before the vaccines were formulated.

The best way to handle COVID is prevention. The most efficient way, we knew then, and know now, would be for at least 80% of the population to get a vaccine as soon as logistically possible, with the people most at risk of SPREADING the disease, to be vaccinated first. While we wait for that to happen, we mask, wash our hands, and keep a social distance.

Nothing has changed. We still should mask, wash our hands, and keep a social distance while we wait for 80% of the population to be vaccinated.

If we had all been vaccinated months ago, we could've been mostly unmasked, been able to hug our family/friends/neighbors, but you still should wash your hands a couple times a day plus after going to the bathroom, because that's just good hygiene.
