Evidence suggests misdelivering a Covid vaccine directly into the blood may be a cause of blood clots. Yet official guidance does not make any effort to avoid this. Why?
Denmark officials say remaining lockdown restrictions will be lifted next month as Covid no longer poses "a critical threat" to the country, but have warned they could be reintroduced if matters change for the worse.
Sweden's low excess mortality in 2020 undermines the pro-lockdown case. Defenders often counter that Sweden fared badly compared to its neighbours. There are several reasons why this is a bad argument, says Dr Noah Carl.
The Danish developers of a new Covid passport app say that its technology will cause a "domino effect" across Europe. The company is currently in talks with a number of European countries, possibly including the UK.
No schools surge, no Christmas surge, and the British variant in decline over a week before lockdown. None of these facts are "right", none of them fits the mainstream narrative. Is someone going to tell the Government?
Denmark has extended its suspension of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine for 3 weeks to continue investigating reports that it causes blood clots. A recent survey found that one in three Danes would decline to get an AZ jab.
Mike Hearn, author of the most read piece on Lockdown Sceptics, takes apart a new paper in the Lancet purporting to show that 20% of people who recover from COVID-19 are vulnerable to reinfection.
by Mike Hearn A recent paper in the Lancet claims that one in five people might not get immunity from being infected with COVID. The study is invalid. Although these sorts of problems have been seen before, this is a good opportunity to quickly recall why COVID science is in such dire straits. The research has a straightforward goal: follow a population of Danish people who tested positive in Denmark's first wave, and re-test them during the second wave to see if they became infected a second time. Denmark has a large free PCR testing programme so there is plenty of data to analyse. Out of 11,068 who tested positive in the first wave, 72 also tested positive during the second wave. This fact is used to advocate for vaccination of people who've already had COVID. The obvious problem with this strategy is that false positives can cause apparent reinfection even when no such thing has happened. The paper doesn't mention this possibility until page 7, where the entire topic is dismissed in a single sentence: "Some misclassifications by PCR tests might have occurred; however, the test used is believed to be highly accurate, with a sensitivity of 97·1% and specificity of 99·98%." My curiosity was piqued by this figure because, as I've written about previously, at least as of ...
Denmark has temporarily halted the administration of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine following reports of cases of blood clots forming. Austria has also paused usage while investigating a death from coagulation disorders.
