What you’re saying sounds correct, but is there any evidence that shows omicron is resulting in less serious illness/death because of the vaccines? The reports seem to indicate that the overall risk profile of omicron is lower including for unvaccinated people. Are we just parroting the same fact as for the alpha/delta variants without any substantial evidence here when we say vaccination helps avoid serious illness for omicron? Why would a variant which has apparently evolved to evade the vaccine continue to react to prior vaccination? We see the opposite with flu vaccines sometimes when vaccinations prime against the wrong strain.
