You sound really excited that vaccinated people are dying.
Maybe consider taking a step back from the politics for a bit.
I was speaking about the tests the FDA admitted weren't detecting Omicron.

What if this whole crusade's a charade?
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…
Yes, So far as I know tests are not detecting specific variants, at least at the point of care.
I was only speaking to your question of if omicron has hit, and how bad. If his area is like ours, we don't know, because we don't know the variant that's impacting people on a given day. My apologies if I misunderstood.
Every state is different and omicron is pretty mild, so we are seeing. As I said before, nobody knows what variant somebody has typically for an extended time and ONLY if the physician REALLY wants to know. Most local and even regional labs can’t test for anything but “COVID-19” at this time. Either way, right now we are seeing about 50-50 with vaccinated and seeing more influenza the last two weeks. There are a lot of people around here experiencing fatigue, joint pain, headache, and congestion that lasts 5-7 days. They aren’t seeking medical care, aren’t being hospitalized, and overall having pretty mild symptoms. Is it omicron? Is it influenza? Who knows. All I can report on is what I’m seeing on shifts which I’m working; four out of seven 12 hour days in the ER.

We have two tests depending on severity of illness. General COVID tests are the CEPHID and includes COVID, FLU A, FLU B, and RSV. When the patient is having respiratory symptoms, we use BIOFIRE that tests for about a dozen other respiratory viruses.
