So riddle me this…if the vaccines don’t work against this strain, what are we vaccinating for?
If you have the vaccine, but do get sick, you will be much less sick, than if you didn't have the vaccine.
And no, I have no idea how you are able to come to that conclusion outside of Clown World.

Welcome to this weeks Clown World episode.
Every other story is about Omni, especially in big cities like NY, it’s exploding. Everyone keeps saying
Get vaccinated, and if you are vaccinated get boosted…
But then this………….
www.reuters.com...
GENEVA, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Preliminary evidence indicates that COVID-19 vaccines may be less effective against infection and transmission linked to the Omicron coronavirus variant, which also carries a higher risk of reinfection, the World Health Organization said on Wednesday.
The WHO, in its weekly epidemiological update, said that more data was needed to better understand the extent to which Omicron may evade immunity derived from either vaccines or previous infection.
So riddle me this…if the vaccines don’t work against this strain, what are we vaccinating for?
If you're vaxxed then there's a better chance that your ass won't end up in the hospital.
Thought this was obvious by now.

Then by definition it is a treatment, not a vaccine.

The article says the existing vaccines may be less effective for preventing someone from acquiring the infection in the first place and then transmitting it to someone else. That means that more people will be getting infected in the near future than would be the case if the previous strains were dominant.
However, the existing vaccines still provide a good amount of protection for an infected person from developing serious symptoms and dying. If more people are going to get infected, it would be a good idea to have a smaller fraction of them dying.
Hospitalizations and deaths to date in Canada
We have detailed case report data on 1,844,901 cases, and hospitalization status for 1,339,237 (72.6%) of them:
94,220 cases (7.0%) were hospitalized, of whom:
18,330 (19.5%) were admitted to the ICU
2,145 (2.3%) needed mechanical ventilation
In a country of 37,742,154 people, hospitalization risk was minimal, to begin with, ICU visits even more so. Now look at Canada's suicide and homicide rates did they go up or down if they went up it makes that margin of saving people shrink even further.
This is a discussion of whether being vaccinated prior to getting covid prevents you from developing severe symptoms and/or dying, or not, compared to people who get covid and weren't vaccinated. That data you just spewed out carries no information at all about who was vaccinated and who wasn't. It doesn't seem to be relevant to the discussion.
Likewise, the fact that some more people may have died from being shut in compared to a time when they weren't shut in has no bearing on whether and to what extent a vaccine might be effective.
By the way, the group at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) that has been following the pandemic from the beginning has looked at this issue in detail. It is true that some deaths, such as suicides and drug overdoses have increased as a result of the societal response to the pandemic. However, other deaths--like auto fatalities for example--have declined. Their conclusion is that the increases and decreases basically neutralize each other in terms of numbers.

Meh I am not one to seek out enemies powerful ones at that, however reluctance is something that should be administered to what appears to be based off of all the data an over reaction. Things that made sense like mask mandates social distancing etc. was something everyone did and are doing as a part of community awareness and a safety precaution. However things changed when three vaccines came out and governments began mandating there applications into our bodies, in addition one of those vaccines has been proven to harm the body..
The data that is out there and yes it is early, indicate omicron, is yes more contagious but appears to be a mild flu like experience for the majority.. So either there is something about covid we don’t know that logically explains the over reaction or there is not. The latter option is what worries me. As always be mindful and respectful to everyone take your vaccines as long as your doctor says it’s ok and your boosters, wash your hands social distance etc. going on two years of this hell, allot has happened I am hoping for a better year in 2022.
Take care everyone. This is a time for all of us to be strong, hopefully our sacrifices are for a greater future.

Yup.
They’ve already admitted that the drug and suicide deaths due to lockdown exceed the Covid deaths.
And nearly every death listed in Alberta have at least on comorbidity and most are over 65 years.
I’ll take my freedom over my security thanks.
I’d like to thank those that are making this difficult for me by bending over for big government and big pharma. Thanks for doing your part!

And the U.S won't be far behind unless the SCOTUS puts a stop
to it, which doesn't look likely.
This just in the 6th Circuit just upheld the mandate.

If Joe can get away with madated vaccines, he can then
implement fines, along with targeted lock downs.
Fines become prison sentences.
There is no one coming to save us.
