Yeah, Omicron is is still potentially a huge threat to countries which both have low vaccine uptake amongst the most at risk and avoided people being infected by previous variants. I think that might only apply to Germany, Austria and China at this point though - almost everywhere on the planet had widespread infection in past waves, and the exceptions generally have high vaccination rates by now.

No country on earth has vaccinated children under 5.

SA allegedly has had a huge amount of hospitalized children under 10 in the past weeks.

This alone can cause havoc. And suffering for the affected (incl. health workers and parents).
