OMICRON, Hospitalization, India, and vaccination: this quartet holds some nuggets? is it that mainly hospitalized persons with Omicron are vaccinated? & they are discharged rapidly, excellent news!
Emerging evidence of 34 Omicron cases at Delhi hospital, 33 are fully vaccinated (97%); what does this really mean? is there an unholy alliance between omicron and vaccine, relative to unvaxxed?
Facts and you reflect and judge, I find this fascinating and interesting for is this an issue of omicron being more of a problem if vaccinated relative to unvaxxed? Again, reports from clinicians I talk to daily tells me that the omicron symptoms are so very mild and even for elderly high-risk persons…, ok, the point at hand:
India’s vaccine level this far is approximately 40%:

Indian Express paper says of 34 Omicron cases at Delhi hospital, 33 are fully vaccinated (97%).

“All but one of the 34 patients with the Omicron variant treated at Delhi government’s Lok Nayak hospital were fully vaccinated, with at least two persons having received a booster shot, top officials have told The Indian Express.”
“So far, we have treated 34 persons with the new Omicron variant, 18 of whom have already been discharged. Except for one person, all others were vaccinated against Covid-19, meaning that the new variant is capable of infecting even those who have received their shots”
Would it be fair to say that since O is mild that invaxxed are able to predominately fight this off with their immune system and are not becoming symptomatic and conversely vaxxed with their reduced immune system effectiveness are catching and expressing symptoms, albeit mild?
