Help me out with the NHS vaccine debate

This may be down to my lack of scientific knowledge so I apologise.
With omnicrom seeming to be much, much milder in most cases, there is mutterings about doing away with testing for most. Is it not within reason that we would not have to vaccinate for much longer? Because the illness would be mild so wouldn't warrant a huge vaccination programme.
Or would the strain get more deadly if we weren't vaccinated anymore?
Therefore if we let go of all the nhs staff who haven't had the vaccine, would they be allowed back to work in a few years if none of us in the UK were being routinely vaccinated anymore?
Full disclosure: triple vaccinated and no anti vaccine leanings.

I've just seen this. Maybe NHS's future is bright.

OP it's 'omicron'. Not 'omnicrom'. Without wishing to sound petty or pedantic you've mis- described it many times now.

[quote LeafPrintWrapDressMum]@WiseUpJanetWeiss do we know that the vaccine reduces the likelihood of picking up omnicrom?[/quote]
Yes
