This is not what the stats are saying. And what about South-Africa with a vaccination rate of 26%?

What "stats" are you looking at? For instance, 2nd paragraph of this article about Omicron talks about vaccination being protective: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/31/world/europe/omicron-hosp...

If South Africa ended up fairing far better than a country with similar demographics and higher vaccination rates, it would be relevant, but there's not data to make that comparison, because other countries are much earlier in the Omicron wave.

Just pointing out that JAMA says SA has a vaccination rate of 44.3% as of Dec 2021; if you're gonna attack statistics it's a good idea to have the right numbers.
