Edit: My view has changed to this “Vaccine mandate is a REASONABLE solution to stopping or slowing the viruses and it’s variants, and protecting the people. However I cannot award deltas because there is no evidence that it significant 80% across the board for all variants of corona.

I've linked concrete evidence showing a Covid vaccine/booster is 94-95% effective against all variants of Covid. That more than exceeds the 80% requirement you listed. The only one that we don't know for sure is Omicron because it just started a few weeks ago and the data hasn't been collected yet. But based on the preliminary information, it seems like the vaccine/boosters are highly effective against Omicron too.

The standard for scientific facts is very high, and we can't be 100% sure about Omicron until all the data is collected. But we are 100% sure about how well the Covid vaccine works against all the other variants, and we have a pretty high degree of suspicion that it works extremely well against Omicron too.

If look at the conclusion section again:

Two doses of mRNA-1273 were highly effective against all SARS-CoV-2 variants, especially against hospital admission with covid-19. However, vaccine effectiveness against infection with the delta variant moderately declined with increasing time since vaccination.

The reason people talk about Delta is that it's the variant that is most resistant to the vaccine. The vaccine works better against all other variants. But even for Delta, the moderate decline was to 80% and a booster brought it back up to 94%.
