Omicron is still being found in first-generation infected - those who have traveled internationally, and are therefore much more likely to have been vaccinated. I’m extremely distrustful of the prevailing wisdom on this topic, and have not been vaccinated myself; that doesn’t prevent me from being honest in my analysis. There is some hope that Omicron will be less severe than the variants that it is displacing, but we won’t have enough data to be confident in that assertion for another week or two at the earliest. It will be at January before we have an idea how effective vaccine-based immunity is in relation to infection-acquired immunity. We have nothing resembling a representative sample of the general population yet.
