Luckily the current strains that seem to be very infectious even for people already vaccinated, don’t seem to cause the worst symptoms.

Well at this point, there aren't many people who are neither unvaccinated nor have never gotten it. So most people have some base immunity, even if it takes a while to ramp up.
If the current strain was the original strain it may have caused worse symptoms.
But it's true, it's probably not as severe. However, the current strain still seems to be debilitating enough (for a week or so) to a good chunk of the people who get it. It's just getting less attention.
Hopefully we don't get any new strains from this point on that are worse, but there are no guarantees of that.
