8. Vaxers and anti vaxers are both getting sick.
Yes, the vaxers less so and with less effects. But the die rate is less than 1% so they will not die off in any significant numbers.

The vaxxed, non-vaxxed,
and recovered all can get the virus. It is likely that resistance from vax and/or from recovery is at a high enough % of the population that this is at least a significant part of Omicron seeming to be less severe.
IIRC, the death rate for Covid had previously been in the .4% range, with Delta being lower, and Omicron proving itself much lower.
