mRNA is basically as worthless as inactivated viruses in preventing omicron spread as well, seeing how omicron has burned through most of the west. Difference in efficacy will buy a few days before exponential curve takes over. Reality is Omicron has closed the gap in performance between different vaccines, which is to say, render them woefully insufficient in preventing medical systems from being overwhelmed. Preventing severe cases is about the only utility for vaccines now, the major epidemiological intervention is back to crushing the curve / maintaining covid zero for population with low covid exposure. Or else PRC would be as / more screwed than countries that depend on mRNA.
