(Tom: Before the pandemic even took hold I recall passing on the datum that vaccinations in some cases may protect against the target illness/infection but appear to lower the integrity of the body’s immune system overall and weaken it so it is less able to defend against infection. The statistics of medical visits and illness of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children bear this out.

Then when the pandemic struck this effect was predicted by the medical specialists and I forwarded it again. Well done if you heeded that datum! A month or so back I saw a quote from the early 1900s where this effect was noted by a doctor. It can take a long time for truth to fight vested interests and fear led propaganda!)
My observation that Omicron BA.5 seems to prefer hypervaccinated masking West Germans while avoiding the DDR, and that this regional pattern first emerged in the wake of mass vaccination, made it into BILD, before earning a state media debunking.
A tipster now points me to the latest Robert Koch Institut Corona reports from 7 and 14 July, where we find the usual colour-coded map of case incidences …
The 23 June report had no comment on the regional incidence patterns at all. As the East/ West divide in infections became more obvious, their 30 June report pleaded vaguely that there could be “many causes” for the phenomenon, including “differences in testing,” before finally adopting this expanded excursus.
The infection-enhancing effects of the vaccines are increasingly obvious everywhere but still tabu for official discussion, so RKI have chosen the safer, secondary explanation: Less vaccine uptake means more natural immunity in the East, and therefore fewer infections today. The RKI too can get something right once in a while, and though it seems a small matter, it means a lot, coming as it does from Germany’s foremost source of official pandemic misinformation.
