<omicron…great blessing> Yes. If it is less lethal If ICU demand does not exceed capacity If current treatments (antivirals, monoclonal antibodies) work on it. If it does not cause Long Covid Syndrome. Lots of ifs….. Reaching herd immunity through infection, may result in a huge increase in disabled people. One of the secondary consequences of covid, could be a generation-long increase in the non-working % of population.

The only problem with your logic is that there are so many changes in the spike proteins that getting this version won't necessarily give you immunity to the other versions. Your body won't recognize them as the same virus. It's the same reason they are saying the existing vaccines probably won't work for this version. Hypothetically, you could get one version then the other at the same time or right after you got over one of them.
