The new variant is spreading very fast and also it is the most dangerous variant of covid-19.
No, it's not. It's 140x more transmissible than the alpha strain, 70x more transmissible than the delta strain, and significantly less deadly than either the alpha or delta variants.
So yes, it's highly transmissible but not any more virulent than previous strains. You get it, vaxxed or unvaxxed, and at best your symptoms are a mild to moderate cold. The vaccine does show some efficacy against Omicron, but even if it doesn't, I wouldn't have too much anxiety over the chance of getting the sniffles and a head ache.
It's time to move on.
