They do, but it is a rare event. Was one of the issues with swine flu in 2009 in that it was30-50 year olds who seemed to be quite sick in hospital (and yes died)
This doesn’t detract from the point that omicron for the unvaccinated is probably in a similar ballpark of severity as swine flu (itself an illness where the vaccination did not have good effect)
The death rate from influenza for people aged up to 44yo is 0.1%
The death rate from Covid for people aged up to 49yo is 0.01%
