Omicron has tricks up its sleeve to evade either vaccine or naturally acquired immunity, and Paxlovid markedly improved survival rates, so that vaccine acquired immunity plays a lesser relative role in survival. 62% is no 92%, as earlier in the pandemic, but its better than nothing.

If the risk of death from COVID is your primary concern then you are going to have a bad time with Long COVID.

Novavax is the far superior vaccine.
