Promise you'll READ this even if you have NO chance of understanding it? Hospitalizations of the VAXXED are increasing because of Omicron. I'd be wasting time with giving you more than that.
There have now been 668 hospital admissions among patients in England who have either swabbed positive for Omicron or are heavily suspected of having it, according to the UKHSA.

Up to 40% of Omicron hospital admissions are in UNVACCINATED adults, officials finally reveal after data transparency row (but they STILL won't say how many have had a booster)
- Officials were accused of scare-mongering for giving no context in daily Omicron hospitalisation updates
- But UK Health Security Agency last night snuck out extra details that offered more clarity on state of play
- There have now been 668 Omicron hospitalisations among patients in England and 26% were unvaccinated
- But figure was as high as 40% in Omicron-hotspot London, which the UKHSA had the most 'robust' data for
There have now been 668 hospital admissions among patients in England who have either swabbed positive for Omicron or are heavily suspected of having it.
Twenty-six per cent were unvaccinated, according to the agency's nationwide analysis. But the UKHSA revealed the figure was as high as 40 per cent in Omicron-hotspot London, which it had the most 'robust' data for. It said the findings 'reflect the importance of vaccine uptake'.
The agency – which snuck out the figures last night before publishing another update today – also upped the variant's fatality toll to 49.
But health bosses have still yet to reveal whether any of the victims had already received a booster or if the virus was even the primary cause of their death, despite mounting pressure to release extra information.
The UKHSA's report also didn't say if any of the hospitalised patients had been given a third vaccine, leaving even more questions about the country's current Covid outbreak.
TRUST ME dude -- the other issues discussed in this article about the diff between "hospitalized FOR Covid" vs "hospitalized WITH covid" -- and the vaccine efficacy OVER ALL THE POPULATION -- you aint got no chance of understanding.
Graph from that good article SHOWS Omicron in Purple swamping OUT Delta -- just as I just told you.
UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) data shows Omicron now makes up 92 per cent of all cases in England. Graph shows: The proportion of cases likely to be Omicron (purple) compared to other variants including Delta (light green) over time
