Critics of the claim that Covid vaccines are contributing to excess deaths point to Sweden as a highly vaccinated country with low excess deaths. But a careful analysis of mortality since 2021 busts this myth.
Denmark proves Covid vaccines aren't causing excess deaths because its death rate is normal, say some. Nick Bowler shows that when the right baseline is used Denmark has experienced 16,000 excess deaths since 2021.
The Danish Government has proposed a ban on setting the Quran alight in public citing national security concerns, prompting fears of a return of blasphemy laws to Europe to appease violent Muslims.
After a group of German scientists concluded that a significant number of EU Pfizer vaccine batches appeared to be placebos, some claimed to debunk the theory. Robert Kogon responds to the objections.
Danish Government scientists have written a paper that downplays the scale of deaths since the vaccine rollout. Professor Eyal Shahar explains why they are wrong.
Professor David Livermore was in Copenhagen last week at the world's premier infection conference – but nowhere on the agenda were discussions about vaccines, masks or lockdowns.
It is impossible to reconcile a highly effective Covid vaccine with the excess mortality in Denmark since 2021, says Professor of Public Health Eyal Shahar.
Fact checks about the vaccines are getting worse, says Thorsteinn Siglaugsson, who counts three outright falsehoods in the latest one from the Australian Associated Press.
Denmark has ceased Covid vaccination for most under-50s, but the UK has not, meaning it is offering vaccines to 32m additional, low-risk people at a potential cost of £1bn. This is an utter waste of scarce public funds.
The Science Editor of Health Feedback has ‘fact checked’ a tweet promoting a Daily Sceptic article and found it to be “inaccurate”. But in her zeal to promote vaccine orthodoxy, she gets some of her facts wrong.
