uPDATE 1: He is Doctor John Campbell
Research Paper link: https://www.ahri.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/MEDRXIV-2021-268439v1-Sigal_corr.pdf

A British Doctor [added: due to complaints I will clarify that he is a retired nurse teacher with a Ph.D.] I've watched several videos analyzes the recent research on Omicron coming out of South Africa. I highly recommend watching his videos.

Key Points:
After you get Omicron, the body naturally (vaxxed or not) produces a 14 fold resistance to reinfection. You are immune to Omicron reinfection.

Omicron recovery also grants 4.4 fold resistance to Delta variant infection - essentially you are immune to Delta, too.

Because Omicron is spreading so rapidly and widely, soon Delta will die out just as the Beta variant has.

Also, recovering from Delta does not protect you from Omicron.

In my opinion, this is great news; the pandemic is reaching its end stage. So don't be afraid as the case numbers climb, it's "nature's way" of super vaccinating the world.

It's going to cause a great deal of trouble while doing so, including not a few deaths. But yeah, it could be a lot worse. (And still could get worse, of course -- there's no guarantee that Omicron will be the last variant.)

Thanks for the info. By the way, manmade vaccines can also kill or hospitalize you. So, there's no free lunch at the Covid buffet.

Quite true. But they do so thousands of times less often, which is a large enough difference to matter.

Hopefully future variants will continue to be weaker.

As long as we're hoping, I also hope that they're based on Omicron, which causes less lung damage and probably less neurological damage than earlier versions.

It might be good news after it has all worked through the world's population, but it's still going to be a difficult time, before we all get to the stage of being to say that we have finally got there! Even this less severe variant may still kill a number of people as it is doing this!

This variant is also hitting unvaccinated children quite badly. The damage which this has done to the worlds economy and to peoples employment situations, will be with us as an ongoing problem for a long time yet!

As Trump said a long time ago, this will go away, just as the Spanish Flu did in a medically primitive time.
He can even be wrong about that eh? COVID will NEVER go away; In the same way that the seasonal flu has never gone away either.

In the meantime, vaccines help to make stuff go away; just like the Spanish Flu. So Trump is gonna be wrong if his supporters don't get vaxxed.

So why all the mandates? It will die down, hopefully to a mild version, can we agree?

What difference if they get vaxxed if it won't go away?

So is that going to be before or after it matches the 60 million dead?

My crystal ball is on the blink today. It is new to this generation, but nothing new in human history about such things.

Why should people who have a heart attack be affected by folks who choose not to get the vaccine, and then have auch more serious case, resulting in taking up hospital beds unnecessarily

The vaxxed are spreading it, not those who choose not to.

Both are spreading it; the vaxxed less so.

Do you really think that nonvaccinated people are not spreading the virus? Boy, THAT would be a unique spin on reality.

It could be true, the source however isn't exactly that reliable. Medical professionals will be hesitant to declare the same conclusions because quite simply it's just a theory and it needs more time. but it is possible omicron could turn the pandemic into a endemic reduced to something like the flu or common cold.

Yes, good news, this time the children are suffering.

With the huge case number of Omicron, a new variant is only a matter of very short time. Ideally, it is as transmissible, but more lethal.
