Omicron doesn't seem to confer much immunity to re-infection. Tons of people are infected with Omicron multiple times. It is nasty.

maybe not immunity, but how about protection from severe disease?

  You don't get that with re-infections either, although on the bright side, Omicron itself is less severe than Delta.

      Omicron-specific boosters were supposedly going to be released this month. I haven't followed recent updates if there are any. But I've been waiting for that before getting 2nd booster.

  Reinfection stories from reputable outlets have been all over the news for weeks. https://www.npr.org/2022/07/11/1110804098/omicron-ba5-variant-covid-reinfections https://www.npr.org/2022/07/11/1110804098/omicron-ba5-varian...

    I wish I could agree that npr was still reputable. I miss the old npr.

      NPR was significantly biased even in the late 90s, when they went all-in on Greenspan's idea that we shouldn't reduce, but increase our national debit. Day after day they pushed this narrative with absolutely zero opposing economic viewpoints. The same pattern happened in the 2000s, with the Iraq war of choice. The drumbeat was ever present, hour after hour with no opposing discussion. NPR has been an echo chamber for some time now. Which "old NPR" do you miss? Were they different in the 80s or 70s ?

        yeah - Iraq war coverage was like "National Pentagon Radio" .. it was startling
