However the vaccines do not give you immunity and will most likely require ongoing doses.

So if no matter what you do, the virus can still infect you.... its time to get back to normal and let the chips fall where they may. If you are afraid of the virus, or don't want to get the vaccine for whatever reason, mask up and act accordingly.

Bike Week as well as any other event should continue normally....

That's inaccurate and outdated. The vaccine is highly effective at preventing infections and shedding of the virus. Immunity at this point is up to 6 months because that's as much data as they have to support that. As time goes on, I expect that to be extended.
