The Omicron is mild for the vaccinated will persist

Well sure, of course its mild in the immune. Just taking a poke at the "its mild in South Africa so it'll be mild everywhere else" pseudoscience we've seen so much of.

Will be interesting to see what happens with vaccine waning and Omicron. Hopefully protection from serious illness persists for a long time.

True, but also ‘it’s mild in the under 60s’ could be argued from the HK stats above. Since SA doesn’t have much of an aged population the ‘variant is mild’ would ring true based on the SA population as it’s a skewed sample.
