The real reason there is a sharp rise in hospitalizations is because the Omicron variant is much, much more infectious than any previous strain.
You are 14x more likely to die from COVID-19 if you are unvaccinated. The more unvaccinated people there are, the more mutations the virus is capable of.
In fact, Omicron is the direct result of a large population of unvaccinated contracting the virus and it performing an astounding number of mutations in the people of the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Italy and Portugal, where it actually first appeared.
South Africa is suffering like Spain did in the flu epidemic of the 1920s because they had the first massive surge that the global media was able to report on because of good testing data out of the country.
The high testing in South Africa combined with low vaccination rates meant the surge's occurrence was well documented in the testing and hospitalization data and journalists ran with the story, often profiting off of an anxious -- sometimes xenophobic -- audience.

@wmdavidhamilton - The rhetoric and actions before, during and after the 2020 elections by the Republican party leadership and the majority of its voters, based upon the election results, are clearly authoritarian.
Millions of them have chosen Trump and believe he is anointed by God to bring Christianity into education, the military and government, with a clear bias for white, Christian Americans and indisputable bias against Black Americans, Americans of color, Muslims and other non-Christians and immigrants.
The goal of theocratic authoritarianism is avowed and plain-spoken by these Republicans, and the majority of their elected representatives in Congress will not disabuse them of these designs and, frankly, delusions.
That is to say, the evidence that white nationalist autocratic theocracy is the goal that Republicans use, explicitly or tacitly, to get out their most reliable voters, the religious right voters is as plain as day. That a significant number of these followers would employ violence, extrajudicial killings and insurrection to bring about this goal has been demonstrated on multiple occasions, often at the prodding of Trump and other GOP elected leaders -- most vividly on January 6th, 2021. A day of infamy equal to August 24, 1814 and as impactful upon future generations of Americans as September 11th, 2001.
