It's important to note the severity of omicron seems to vary a lot from country to country. Omicron in South Africa seems to be much less severe than in other countries.
Also if you do wanna take the hot take of omicron spreading and displacing other variants, then it's still very important to get the booster shot. The vaccine has a much bigger effect on those variants than on omicron. In Norway at a party of 120 fully vaccinated people, 80 of them got infected with omicron. So no matter what, it's still important to get your boosters!

Early lab tests suggest the antibodies generated by the immune system after the booster shot are able to target and eliminate Omicron particles. “ Those who did not receive the booster shots, had no neutralization ability against Omicron. Researchers said the booster increased this about a hundred fold.”
- culi 5y agoBecause it strongly limits the spread of other variants and only weakly limits the spread of omicron. Which means if you were cheering for omicron in the rat race, getting the booster would actually give it a competitive advantage
