I don’t think that reading is correct. The headline 35k reinfections of 2,796k individuals is for all infections to date. The very recent reinfection data for the last few weeks, which is where omicron is circulating, is much worse:
> Based on these analyses, we conclude there was no population-level evidence of immune escape associated with emergence of the Beta or Delta variants. In contrast, the number of daily new reinfections has recently spiked and exceeds the 95% projection interval from the null model, accompanied by a dramatic increase in the hazard ratio for reinfection versus primary infection. The timing of these changes strongly suggests that they are driven by the emergence of the Omicron variant.

You are right. > The very recent reinfection data for the last few weeks, which is where omicron is circulating, is much worse: I can't seem find the numbers that support this assertion in the paper. How many reinfections occurred during the period when Omicron is believed to have been circulating?
