In South-Africa almost nobody dies of Omicron while the vaccination rate is around 26%.

What does "almost nobody" mean?

One person died from Omicron in the UK.

Has anyone died from Omicron elsewhere?

That statement ignores the fact that estimate of 80% had already caught previous mutation of the Covid. That is presumably even better than the vaccine.
