Now you are doing the exact same thing, There is not enough evidence yet to support this claim.
It would be great news if the new variant would be similar to nothing more than a mild to bad cold, that would be better than even the vaccines, but it is way too early to make that claim.
Fradi you are almost "right on the dot" on this one. But there are caveats
.
What we know now:
1- The main concern is still the Delta-Variant and vaccination should be our main goal for now
2- The Omicron seems to be more contagious than delta
3- The Omicron might be less effective in causing severe disease or death (no sufficient datas yet)
But those datas are from the epidemiology in Southern Africa which we know is different from the one in Northern America (Canada and USA)
4- IF 2 and 3 are true (we might know in 3-4 weeks, for America) than, it way with time replace the delta. Caveat: how long will it take, months, years?
5- IF 2 and 3 are false, our present hope is that the vaccines will keep their great efficiency or a good one. The near future hope would be that we can get a tweaked vaccine to improved efficiency if or when needed. But it would take 6-12 months to develop, test, approve and administer those vaccines. The problem remains with unvaccinated people.
6- In USA there are still 900 daily deaths, on Covid, almost all from delta-variant
7- It is not clear this omicron will replace delta in America. If effects are milder it's a "sort of a good news". Vaccination remains the best thing now.
As you concluded: "but it is way too early to make that claim". The next month should bring a lot of new knowledge for those who care for the true information. Not for those posting debunked propaganda from Malone and similar and not having any consideration for truth.
