Anecdotally...
I thought covid 1.0 was vastly over-blown, and still do. Knew two people who got it, and one who died (90+ terminal nursing home patient).
Delta was different... back home (deep red state), three people in mu family' close circle died within a month, working age adults, all unvaxxed. My next-door neighbors' cousin died too, working age, unvaxxed. So delta looks to me to have been everything 1.0 was hyped to be, but was not.
I said early on that I liked omicron... natural evolution of bug like this: more contagious but less severe, so it should have provided a lot of people (vaxxed and not) with some extra immunity. At this point looks like that was the big turning point.

Given the number of people (all working age adults) I knew who suddenly died from delta within a few months, delta looked more serious. I'm healthy, fit, and not very old so I was never personally worried, it was just a sniffle when I got it. My wife had a flu-like experience, with a lingering cough for a few weeks. But delta is OBE due to omicron.
