I don’t think this indicates omicron is vaccine resistant.

But rather that the current vaccines aren’t effect for because omicron is substantially different from the original covid strain used to develop those vaccines.

The same thing happens every year with the flu.

Yes, that's what I meant, and why I advocated for developing omicron boosters in the post.
