Virus infection increases the risk of other serious diseases. It is therefore too early to give the green light.

Deliver the heart, hopefully undamaged by the crown – it was exhausting to keep hoping the pandemic would end very soon and be disappointed again and again. Especially since there was a sombre look into the depths of the constantly escalating “lateral thinker” for free. And then 2022 came with the horror level of him. This emotionally extremely demanding overall situation has now apparently led Corona to be perceived as some kind of annoying marginal phenomenon.
Interested people can tweet with sore fingers to spread alarming new studies – it only resonates with people. Understandable but not good. And then he said this week of all things Thomas Mertens, head of the Standing Commission for Vaccinations, assumes that everyone would have been infected with Corona several times anyway. And young, healthy people shouldn’t be vaccinated a fourth time.
Mertens spoke nonchalantly of “basic immunity” in the population achieved through previous vaccinations and infections. As is reconciled with the current vaccination campaign of the Ministry of Health, with the Minister Karl Lauterbach calls for caution and a fourth vaccination? It doesn’t fit in at all, it’s just typical of the amount of conflicting information people in the country are dealing with.
The hope that at some point we will be immune to Corona has long since vanished. Rows of people get infected for the second and third time. How can the head of the Stiko publicly ignore how dangerous it is to contract Corona multiple times? According to the current state of science, the virus can cause serious damage to various organs and the bloodstream.
Nearly 30 percent more fatal heart attacks
A Los Angeles research team has studied the connection between Covid-19 and an increased risk of heart attack. Since the start of the pandemic, the she studies According to the study, the number of fatal heart attacks in the United States has always increased in line with the respective wave of infection, most noticeably in people between 25 and 44 years of age. Compared to what would normally be expected in this age group, the increase here was nearly 30 percent.
Even during the supposedly milder omicron waves. And just recently, a study called Epiloc from Baden-Württemberg showed that more than 20 percent of the 12,000 people surveyed still suffered from limitations six to twelve months after infection. These include chronic fatigue, exhaustion, difficulty concentrating or memory problems, difficulty breathing and shortness of breath, impaired sense of smell, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. 20 percent!
Many of these people may like the author Margaret Stokowski she reported about herself, she hasn’t returned to her normal life for a long, long time. With the current high number of new infections, this is not even a good prospect for society. With his new vaccination campaign and Stokowski’s help, Karl Lauterbach tried to draw attention to the problem again. The most notable reaction was that Stokowski was mocked.
People who want a fourth vaccination report being removed from their studies without having achieved anything because they are not qualified. Who or what is currently erased somewhere due to Corona, which hospitals are reporting “country down”: this information constitutes an unpleasant but seemingly irrelevant background noise of the current perception.
What should I do? Maybe just hope that the warnings reach at least some people, who will then protect themselves better. But how the company will ultimately cope with the expected high toll of long-time Covid deaths – the question remains, no matter how ignored the danger is. The Ministry of Health should be ready to respond.
