If I evades vaccines for more dangerous variants, I'm not convinced catching it will make me immune to those variants either. It might actually be different enough to be independent.

Have you seen any evidence that this may be likely?

That omicron is able to so easily infect people who have had and recovered from delta points to it being almost a different disease from the perspective of the immune system.

We know Omicron can cause infections in people who have already been vaccinated or recovered from Delta; why would the reverse not be true?
