Is the Omicron variant really worth all the hype?

I found this article that says the symptoms of the Omicron variant are extremely mild. Feeling very tired seems to be the main symptom. One child ran a fever and had an elevated heart rate that was all back to normal 2 days later without medical treatment. The doctor that first identified the Omicron variant didn’t initially test for Covid-19 because the symptoms were so different and so mild compared to the original.

The initial response is to stop travel to and from Africa and to push people to get vaccinated (again). Yet the Pharma as of two days ago still don’t know the efficacy of the vaccines against this variant. One university did some testing and came to the conclusion that natural or vaccine immunity may not impact the new variant.

But with symptoms of being tired, is it really worth all the hype? Is this really worth the damage that is done to the global economies by the jacked up responses we are seeing?
