"Hurr durr look at cases there's more than before" is not how you can tell whether the vaccine has an effect and is not how the scientific method works. It's likely that without vaccines, the omicron variant would have caused an even higher case load than we are seeing now. We know this because there are studies that show the vaccine reduces your likelihood of getting the original strain. Also we have studies that show vaccination reduces your probability of infection by omicron [0]. In addition, without vaccines, there would be more hospitalizations. These facts don't necessarily support vaccine mandates from a moral POV, but they're still the facts and by ignoring these facts you're the one spreading nonsense.
