Triple Vaccinated Over Four Times As Likely To Develop COVID

On December 22, The Daily Skeptic posted an article that started to attract some attention. One December 25, The Daily Skeptic’s website went down. Posted on their own website as of this minute reads:

We hope our friends over at TDS keep backups and can restore soon. In the mean time, their articles are available on Archive.org. However, because Archive.org has been known to delete webpages from their vault (presumably from threats), we have decided to post the relevant data here because we believe it is important enough.

Triple-Vaccinated More Than FOUR Times As Likely to Test Positive For Omicron Than Unvaccinated, Data Shows

According to early data published on Tuesday by the ONS, the triple-vaccinated are 4.5 times as likely to test positive for a probable Omicron infection than the unvaccinated. The double-vaccinated, meanwhile, are 2.3 times as likely to have a probable Omicron infection.

The article goes on to explain how the data is specific to Omicron cases, not overall COVID infections, concluding that vaccination is driving–instead of suppressing–COVID-19 cases. With Omicron now becoming the dominant strain, this is a feasible statement based off of the data supplied.

The complete table, with modelled data from the ONS Infection Survey, is reproduced below.
