But they are all still omicron. I guess there's less scare factor from popping new names all over the place, that or they aren't that mutated.

Except the evidence doesn’t back that up.
As I said, it’s a comforting narrative, nothing more and nothing less.

As for the immunity question, which again one person seems to fail to understand - we do in fact have significant population immunity in the sense that pretty much everyone here has either received doses of a covid vaccine or has had covid or probably both.

So much immunity we’ve had 4 waves this year and rising again in the ONS prevalence study. In 2019 and before if anyone sold you getting infected possibly a couple of times a year as “immunity” you’d laugh them out of town.
