While you're not wrong, this doesn't completely negate concerns, actually for much the same reason that the "99% survival rate!" cries from anti-vaxx crowd doesn't mean much either.

DISCLAIMER: To be very clear before someone tries to declare this "misinformation", the following paragraph is using example numbers to illustrate the concept; I am not claiming they are actual real-world stats. (I know, this is such a ridiculous thing to write a disclaimer about, but recent events have proven such disclaimers are necessary on GameFAQs.)

For example, if the vaccine reduced the risk to 1/100th of what it was, but the Omicron variant also caused 100x as many cases - those cancel out exactly and you're pretty much back to the original position in terms of healthcare burden. But, because there's still more cases, there's a much higher contact tracing burden, at least for places that are still doing that - and places that aren't, will see higher case numbers due to that, as the whole point of contact tracing is to attempt to break, or at least slow down, at least some of the chains of transmission.

Again, those are example numbers to illustrate a point, not the actual change in risk from vaccines / increase in case rates from Omicron.
Your words are clear and accurate, anyone misinterpreting is unlikely to want to understand in the first place.
