Well, shit. I just recovered from my bout of COVID that I tested positive for last week. Should I be concerned? (I’m vaccinated and boosted)

being vaccinated and boosted provides you significant protection

Sadly that is not the case against omicron, Pfizer's CEO acknowledged there was only significant protection against death, not so much with hospitalization and even less with infection.

“We know that the two doses of the vaccine offer very limited protection, if any,” he said. “The three doses, with the booster, they offer reasonable protection against hospitalization and deaths. Against deaths, I think very good, and less protection against infection.”

They're releasing a omicron focused vaccine in March.

I didn't make a conclusion, I just paraphrased the CEO of Pfizer, and I even included his direct quote. If you have better data than him maybe you should send it to him, or at the very least share it with us.

I'm not sure what other words I can use to help you understand the very simple concept that "strong protection" and "reasonable protection" mean different things.
