Has it been absolutely proven that getting vaccinated works to slow the spread? If so, please post a link!
Omicron is a different animal. Vaccination still reduces hospitalization.

breakthrough infections in vaccinated individuals cleared faster — on average, in 5.5 days — than infections in unvaccinated individuals, which took an average of 7.5 days to clear. This finding suggests that people with breakthrough infections may be as infectious as unvaccinated people in the early stage of their infection, but that those with breakthrough infections are infectious for a shorter period and therefore less likely to transmit the disease to others over time.

Breakthrough infections "clear" in a shorter period of time, thus ultimately spread less, putting less people at risk, taxing hospitals less, and cutting down on viral mutation time.
