Even if it was less severe, it's probably still bad, because bigger number (of infections) times smaller percentage of effects is often still worse than smaller number times bigger number, at the ranges we're looking at here.
Vaccine efficacy against infection probably takes a noticeable hit, against hospitalization still pretty good, and boosters are likely to help, according to the experts.
Pfizer is indeed recommending at least 3 doses of their vaccine to protect against this variant: https://twitter.com/spectatorindex/statu...4892643328
