What gets me are the people that are like "the vaccine doesn't work against Omicron, and that's 95% of the cases in the US right now!" The Omicron wave peaked in the US at a 7-day average of over 800,000 cases a day. At 95% Omicron, that still means 40,000 non-Omicron cases a day, which is roughly on par with the daily case count for the second wave back in July 2020. Omicron is overwhelmingly dominant right now, but it has achieved that on top of other variants, not by replacing them, so there will still be plenty of value in the vaccines once Omicron finished burning itself out (to say nothing of the protection they do offer against Omicron, however limited it might be).

I'm not anti-vax, and things could only be worse without it, but at the same time it sure is underwhelming in its effect. we've administered more doses of vaccine than there are people on the planet, and it still feels like it has done next to nothing. I don't know how/if things could be better though.
