Oslo has been the epicenter of the biggest outbreak of Omicron outside South Africa. Looking at the details of the outbreak, it's clear that we're dealing with something very contagious. Out of a total of 111 guests attending a party in Oslo, 80 were subsequently diagnosed with the virus. A few hours in a room with a no more than a handful of infected people resulted in a 73% chance of contagion for everyone else.
Every one at the party were vaccinated, so it's clear that the vaccine doesn't do much to dent the spread. The only argument that could be made for vaccines at this point is that they may make symptoms milder. However, this is pure conjecture. There's no reason to believe that unvaccinated people will be any more affected than the vaccinated.
The symptoms have been mild, leading some experts to conclude that Omicron may be the variant that finally breaks the virus down to something harmless.
By the look of it, Omicron will be everywhere pretty soon, and no-one but the most frail will get very ill from it.
Omicron heralds the death of vaccine passports. There's also no point in wearing masks or engage in social distancing. None of this works, and none of it makes any sense in light of how harmless the disease is.
