There are several narrative strands here in Germany.Going to be an interesting couple weeks as the data and results from the Omicron spike comes in. They seem to be playing dumb about it. Early results of the pre-Christmas data seems to show that it is way weaker than what came before. Only a matter of time before there aren't any folks that don't have any immunity left and all the cases are either reinfections or vaccinated. It's moving quick.
I guess they are waiting on polling data and word from their political handlers on how they are going to spin it. They can't kick the can down the road forever though I'm sure they will consider it.
One is that Omicron may be mild, but "mild" is still super bad (often repeated on Twitter with a picture of the WHO definition of "mild", meaning oxygen mask, obscuring that this table means "mild in the hospital", not "mild in general"). Then there's "Omicron is mild, but if too many get infected everything collapses anyway from quarantine". The third is "Omicron may be mild now but it'll totally mutate back into something much more deadly if we don't vaccinate everyone right now and every four month".
Note that all of the narratives demand mandatory vaccines and exclude ending the fearmongering at any point.
/edit:
Some guy on Twitter tries to explain those heart attacks. I don't understand shit, of course, something about the spike protein messing with some receptors causing a calcium channelopathy leading to a potentially fatal arrythmia.
I don't really see how this would cause heart attacks way after injection, though, and it sounds like this is mainly happening when you have the spike protein in you while you're getting heart rate above 120 or something.
If it's a calcium channel thing, maybe Amlodipin, a calcium channel blocker used to treat hypertension, can be helpful?
