The effectiveness against infection is limited, and omicron mainly spreads in vaccinated populations in Denmark, Island and the UK

Both technically true statements (though I think you mean Iceland), but presented in a completely misleading way. Yes, breakthrough infections exist and nothing is 100%; you should still get the vaccine, obviously. Yes, when the population is highly vaccinated, a lot of infections will be in the vaccinated; that's just how denominators work.

This is antivax misinformation.

I’m rather pro vaccination and read those numbers first hand, thanks.
