On the fact that the German states with low vaccination rates (basically the former East Germany) have now MUCH lower Omicron infection rates than the rest of the country:
And a newer piece that looks at the same trends since last fall and makes the same point even more strongly. Last fall, as Germany was just leaving the happy vaccine valley (Germany started vaccinating relatively late), area with higher vaccination rates had fewer Covid cases - the numbers in the former East Germany looked bad. But Omicron erased that trend, and now it has markedly reversed.
Two VERY striking pieces from Eugyppius

The mRNA vaccinated countries are so very lucky that Omicron is mild.
Let’s hope that luck holds.
