Omicron Variant Spreads Faster Among the Vaccinated Than Delta, New Study Finds

 Since the first vaccine was released, Fauci has touted the vaccine as our way out of the Covid-19 pandemic.  Media pundits and politicians alike sold many skeptical people on the vaccine by saying it would represent a return to normalcy.  Now, after supporting a vaccine mandate for things as essential as air travel and for your children, a new study has found that not only is the vaccine ineffective against the Omicron variant of the Covid-19, vaccinated individuals are even more likely to catch it than unvaccinated individuals.  The Epoch Times Reports-

“A Danish study of nearly 12,000 households has discovered that Omicron spreads faster than Delta among those who are fully vaccinated, and even higher between those who have received booster shots, demonstrating strong evidence of the variant’s immune evasiveness.

The Omicron variant was found to evade the immunity of vaccinated individuals at a much faster pace compared to Delta, and at a higher rate than the unvaccinated, according to the study conducted by researchers at the University of Copenhagen, Statistics Denmark, and Statens Serum Institut.

“Comparing households infected with the Omicron to Delta VOC, we found an 1.17 times higher SAR for unvaccinated, 2.61 times higher for fully vaccinated and 3.66 times higher for booster-vaccinated individuals, demonstrating strong evidence of immune evasiveness of the Omicron VOC,” said the preprint of the study. SAR refers to secondary attack rate.”

The Omicron variant has been found to be anywhere from three to six times more infectious than the Delta variant, according to the study.  According to the CDC, the Omicron variant now accounts for 95% of all Covid cases in the United States.
