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.
Denmark has banned the use of COVID-19 vaccines for people under 50 saying the benefits are too low. What it conspicuously fails to mention (though surely knows it) is that the risks are also too high.
Denmark’s policy towards vaccination in the autumn of 2022 will focus on the over-50s; the under-50s will only get a booster if a doctor recommends it, as the country shifts to treating Covid like flu.
Two scientists in Denmark have written a newspaper article to show that excess mortality in their country during the pandemic was no better than in Sweden despite the Swedes not imposing lockdowns or heavy restrictions.
Once you take into account that non-Covid excess mortality is skewed heavily towards the old, the estimate of vaccine mortality in the over-75s exceeds one in 1,000 doses or 0.1%. Fourth doses are bearing this out.
Denmark has become the first country to suspend its Covid vaccination programme as its health authority says the virus has been brought under control.
Covid vaccination increases the risk of severe heart inflammation up to 120-fold, a major study from Scandinavia published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has found.
Reported infections have hit record highs during the Omicron surge, and deaths are up too – but excess deaths are low or zero, making Omicron largely a phantom Covid wave. No wonder restrictions are being lifted.
Why are reported Covid deaths in Denmark approaching a record high, despite high levels of vaccination and the mildness of Omicron? It is all the more perplexing because ICU numbers are right down low.
Norway scrapped almost all remaining restrictions today, doing away with its self-isolation and face mask requirements and ending social distancing, despite being in the middle of its Omicron surge.
