This might actually be true, the study was not done by the CDC.

Well, I am going to pee in the punchbowl, just a little. South Africa was the first big country to get hit by what is described as Omicron, and for several weeks it looked like such infections didn't lead to anywhere near the level of COVID assigned deaths. However, there was this one caveat- everyone was using the 3 week lag in deaths vs initial positive test, and on that basis, Omicron looked far less lethal. I have carefully watched South Africa's daily COVID death totals, and they are still climbing even though new cases peaked over a month ago. I see the same thing in the UK this past week. I still think Omicron is less deadly, but I don't think it is anywhere near as less deadly as it looked like 2 weeks ago.
Just my two cents worth.
