minus-squareSalamander@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-23 years agoIf you are interested in epidemiological data, you might find this paper interesting: [PDF] Eggink, Dirk, et al. “Increased risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron compared to Delta in vaccinated and previously infected individuals, the Netherlands, 22 November to 19 December 2021.” medRxiv (2021). To add some anecdotal evidence: four people I know were diagnosed with COVID this week. Two of them previously infected, all of them fully vaccinated, one boosted. They were not tested for the specific variant. Quite mild symptoms, fortunately.
