Great, now please stay home. High vaccination rates may not be the passport to economic reopening and a thriving social life that we’d once hoped. Malaysia is gradually opening up after a horrendous few months, and Australian leaders have pledged greater freedoms as protection climbs. In June, officials said that the city-state would begin the “transit to a new normal" as vaccination rates steadily climbed. We know there is an economic cost to status quo, but fully reopening has a price that too few countries are eager to pay.
