They were always rated two ways: prevention of infection and reduction of severity. When unboosted the prevention efficiency slowly falls but its "effectiveness remains high against hospitalization or severe disease" https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-briefs/vaccine-induced-immunity.html
And spreads way faster, so we don't know yet how severe its impact will be on the healthcare system. The first few reports of death from it are trickling in. Interestingly one of them had "natural immunity" from a previous infection, and was unvaccinated. https://publichealth.harriscountytx.gov/Portals/27/Documents/HCPH%20Reports%20First%20Omicron%20Related%20Death%20sm.pdf?ver=oK77qT2qjHEIryPPhgBoog%3d%3d
You’re deflecting again. No shit that more people sick at any given time will put more strain on the healthcare system.
It's a great analogy.
It has nothing to do with what we were talking about.
Omicron has probably shifted the ground under the decision to release hospital workers. I wonder if they'll walk that back in some fashion, since they're changing the covid isolation guidelines as we speak.
