Actually, that’s not true….from the Wall Street journal, Monday….

‘…. af*ter 30 days the Mod*erna and Pfizer vac*cines no longer had any sta*tis*ti*cally sig*nif*i*cant pos*i*tive ef*fect against Omi*cron in*fec*tion, and af*ter 90 days, their ef*fect went neg*a*tive—i.e., vac*ci*nated peo*ple were more sus*cep*ti*ble to Omi*cron in*fec*tion. Con*firm*ing this neg*a*tive ef*fi*cacy find*ing, data from Den*mark and the Cana*dian prov*ince of On*tario in*di*cate that vac*ci*nated peo*ple have higher rates of Omi*cron in*fec*tion than un*vac*ci*nated peo*ple.‘
