Vaccination rates in countries like Mozambique or Namibia are so low that the likelihood of Omicron or other variants coming from those parts of the world would be high.
Vaccine hoarding and greed among the developed countries.

It works for pfizer moderna etc too, that's probably why they won't make the vaccines available to poorer nations at a more affordable rate
as long as wealthy nations hoard, and variants appear, they can keep rolling out variant booster shots
