The variant is called EG.5 and is a descendant of Omicron.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that EG.5 accounted for roughly 17.3 per cent — or one in six — of new COVID-19 cases in the U.S. in the past two weeks.

They literally claimed that it prevented symptoms in 90+% of people. This is an outright lie.
Preventing symptoms is not the same as not catching it.

You can’t “sources please” your way out of been wrong.
I am not suggesting that people don’t get vaccinated, but it’s very clear these vaccines haven’t hit the targets they were meant to. I personally don’t think newer varients count for all of the huge discrepancy between the claims and reality. We need better prophylactics and medicines than this. More widespread use of antivirals might help with this.
If you read my comment I didn’t make any claims About it’s effectiveness. You did. Which is why I asked for sources
