Contacts not syncing after 16.1.1 install

I recently installed the iOS 16.1.1 software on my iPhone 12 and most of my contacts disappeared. The full list of contacts is still in iCloud and all settings are turned on. I've tried rebooting, hardwiring the phone to my MacBook, etc. Why is this list not syncing between my phone and iCloud? Any suggestions?

iPhone 12, iOS 16
