This preprint also shows reduced antibody neutralization of omicron in comparison to delta (including for double vaccinated + previous infection).

Note the sample sizes for all these studies is small. 12 participants for the AHRI paper and 8 to 20 per group for this one.

Sample size doesn't really matter much in this kind of study.

This paper doesn't even attempt to measure effectiveness. It measures neutralization titers which is a totally different thing.
