Yes business interests demand this but everyone knows this pandemic is far from over. For instance I think all passenger flights should be grounded. All. Now.
Shouldn’t governments be erring on the side of caution instead of rushing to bring back a “normalcy”?

Probably yes, otherwise we'll get into a cycle of lockdown - lift too early - lockdown.
But I don't know what the answer is, I'm not an expert, especially when it comes to economics. But there are no true "laws" of economics. Doing x to lead to y only happens because we (citizens of capitalist societies) have agreed that x leads to y.

Politicians are mixing the needs and wants of the population with the reality of the pandemic.
People want to start going out and traveling, and thankfully we are about 50% with at least on shot.
It’s spring so more people can eat outside.
Politicians are hedging their bets

Helping business get back in its feet too soon costs the economy more.

I don’t think it’s too soon. People are getting vaccines at record numbers and most are wearing masks.

Yes...vaccines, though the best we have for now, is not an iron clad insurance of getting back to normal...like in 2019. Take it slowly. Open up gradually, while still wearing masks and getting the vaccine . It's not over and there are variants that are still mutating. It's getting better, why ruin it by being reckless too soon. We'll get there one day. I think next year we'll be back to a pretty normal life.

There’s a point at which governments have to allow for personal responsibility.
If you don’t vaccinate and wear masks, you’re on your own.

And a point where the government has to deal with personal irresponsibility.
