Another for the anti vaccers along with all the others?

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
Surely it can't get much more dominant than omicron, I've heard it said that it's almost as contagious as measles. Hopefully from here it becomes less and less severe.
I've seen a lot of mentions of heart concerns recently. 3-4 people I know are complaining of heart palpitations since having covid. A friend said a doctor told him it's a worrying trend that they're noticing..
It can really mate, but can also go the other way, the worry would be vairent as transmissible as Omicron but as impactful as Delta or Alpha. Or something comes along with a greater degree of vaccine escape. Could also start to become endemic as well though, with environmental factors - increased vaccine protection in the developing world and ongoing development on vaccine progression. I think if the numbers hold i think we can be optimistic about getting out of flu season with the worst of this behind us, but the big thing for this year, in not walking in Nov - Dec as complacent as we did this year - really ultimately Omicron pulled everyone pants down and we had scramble a booster campaign. If we are learning from previous years, Nov - March is going to be problematic, so we should be preparing now for that period in 22.

I'd imigine that this would be an extreamly unlikely scenario..
Well i wouldn't say its extremely unlikely mate - the truth of it is we dont know. We will see more variants certainly. Key variables at play are the ones i mentioned , transmittablity, symptomatic disease and vaccine escape. There is still a lot of scope within the virus to mutate especially with case rates around the world so high and so much space still world wide for the virus to infect given much of the world remains unvaccinated - very simply the more room the virus has to infect the higher the rate of mutations - that more variants are inevitable. We might be a while off this being endemic in my opinion and likely to see periods of waves, rise and fall that we will have to manage with new variants like we are experiencing at moment for a good while yet.
Just doing a whistle-stop of 2021 illustrates the point, we had: Alpha. Delta and Omicron all in the calendar year. A key objetive in 2022 has to be to vaccinate with serious intent in the developing world - we need to limit the scope the vaccine has to replicate and mutate. While like i say the clever play is to have a plan for Nov - March nationally for 2022 instead of sleep walking into the period (again).
If your really curious this maybe deconstructs the points im making and maybe a quick look into the crystal ball and the logic.
Omicron's not the last variant we'll see. Will the next one be bad?
Experts say it wouldn't be surprising if another concerning variant cropped up this year.

I’m no expert but I am sure I have read going back years well before Covid that viruses of various kinds often attack the heart

Yeah I agree with this- we could get lucky and have almost complete domestic normality feb/March til November but we'll almost definitely be having the same debates as this year just before Christmas again. Maybe pre emptive restrictions
So? I mentioned before how our trust was gonna have some leaway on vaccination of staff. With looking at suspension until you are fully vaccinated.
They have changed their mind.
If you have not had your first jab by the end of business on the 3rd Feb, you will be served with notice to dismiss.
Those who have had their first jab by then, will have to show they have booked there second jab. No proof, notice of dismissal. However if you book at a later date and you go on to have the 2nd jab, your good. No second jab, notice of dismissal envoked and your gone.
Those who believe they have a medical exemption have until the 3rd Feb to prove it and be assessed by occupational health. If they don't agree your exempt, you better get jabbed, or your out.
Suddenly getting very real.

Seeing anti vaxxers talking about footballer heart issues is frustrating. They seem to miss the fact that they've had COVID?

Science and and a recognition of reality are not noted strongpoints of antivaxxers.
