Most of the people in the UK who are quadruple vaccinated are over the age of 70.

...the vaccine doesn’t work.

I believe the vaccines were developed to protect against the original variant, with some protection against the delta variant. They offer little or no protection against Omicron and Omicron sub variants (which are highly contagious).

Omicron is supposed to be less "deadly" than previous variants, however, it can be deadly for the elderly and especially elderly with co-morbidities.

I believe the same. It’s similar to needing another flu shot every season for the strain expected to be dominant that year (and they sometimes get it wrong). Corona viruses tend to mutate fairly rapidly, so it is what it is, and the vaccines wane in efficacy. So far, the SARS-CoV-2 has done the usual thing viruses do and become more contagious but less virulent. Let’s hope it keeps getting less virulent.
