Help! Looking to clear up misinformation on Covid. [View all]

Ananti-Vaxxed/Covis-Hoax Relative of mine called me saying the omicron variant is going to kill all you vaccinated people.

Now I will be honest dealing with My SIL who is very ill-non-covid so I haven't been able to keep up. Last I heard people vaccinated can get a mild case and that omicron is in 18 states.

How much am I wrong and what did I miss?
