I forgot about this bloke, but good thing you brought it up! Because several scientific papers have been released over the past few weeks that put this guy's promotion of vaccination and ridiculing of anti-vax to bed.
Let's keep it in simple man terms:
Omicron is going to hit every single human being on this planet, vaxxed or not. However, hospital admissions are over 70% lower compared to Delta. Symptoms are mild as fuck, and while some elderly and weak people will still be hit hard, it will be almost negligible compared to earlier variants.
Omicron gives immunity to delta, but delta gives no immunity to Omicron (and no vaccine exists that will help combat Omicron, including the now useless boosters, as omicron is taking over delta in all countries at a rapid pace)
Science has recently proven that natural immunity is long term, and significantly stronger than relying on the vax only. A combination of both is of course, stackable.
Health organizations are worried that the 4-5th booster shot will bring terrible consequences, including autoimmune disease and/or reliance on vaccines to protect, instead of the immune system (NOT 100% confirmed, needs further research)
Current vaccines have received criticism for focusing on a specific area, while it would’ve been possible to focus on the entire picture. Basically eliminating the threat of serious hospitalization altogether. Waiting on more official research on this one so we can start fucking Pfizer, lmao.
All the measures (distancing, washing hands, masks etc) are still relevant BUT nothing will stop you from being exposed to Omicron anymore. Delaying is the only thing that we can do.
Tl'dr vaccines didn't save us, a new variant did that potentially came from mice (hypothesis on the mice bit so far)
Fun fact: Lareb (Dutch side effect center) is reporting over 1000 calls a day with side effects from the booster vaccination. Great stuff Bartio!
