Denmark Pulls Covid Injection for Under 18s

With the increase in health problems after getting the covid injection, denmark officials have now advised against under 18s taking this injection

Adults can make their own choice and this is a step in the right direction but too late imo, those injections were never safe and effective

Official source of the Danish govt.

[quote]The current wave of covid-19 has flattened. One of the main reasons for this is a high expected immunity in the Danish population[c=800000] due to a high vaccine coverage against covid-19 in Denmark[/c] and the fact that many Danes have been infected with covid-19 within the last months following the onset of the omicron variant. Furthermore, we know from experience that the infection rate falls with the change of seasons.

[c=800000]On the basis of this, the time has come for phasing out the vaccination program against covid-19 [b]for the current season[/c][/b].

[...]

[big]2. Do you still recommend taking the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dose against covid-19 if you are unvaccinated?[/big]

Yes, generally [c=800000]we still recommend that people who are completely unvaccinated accepts the offer of primary vaccination, ie. take 1st and 2nd dose, even if they are younger than 50 years, as there may be a risk of serious illness if you are completely unvaccinated, even despite the new omicron variant[/c]. In general, we recommend that unvaccinated people begin their vaccination series this fall.

The risk of a serious course of illness due to covid-19 is greatest the older you are, so it will preferably be people from approx. the age of 40, who will benefit the most from accepting the offer of primary vaccination, but y[c=800000]ounger people can also benefit, especially if they have risk factors such as a chronic illness, severe obesity, etc.[/c]

Children and adolescents only very rarely have a serious course of illness due to covid-19 with the omicron variant, which is why the offer of p[c=800000]rimary vaccination for children between 5 and 17 years will not be a general offer, but can be given after a specific medical assessment[/c], cf. the Danish Health Authority's guidelines.

During the fall/winter, the 3rd dose will also continue to be offered, cf. the Danish Health Authority's guidelines.

So as per their communication the reason of the phase out is that the Danish pop. is sufficiently protected. And in no point it's said that the <18 are "advised against" getting vaccinated, rather, it's said the opposite near the bottom.

Comprehension of a written text isn't really your strength, is it? Who would've ever told? lol

@Elessar thanks for posting that. As stated the danish gov are advising children not to get injected. You can still juice up if you want but the advice is children dont need it. You disagree with this advice? Do you think babies 6months and above should be injected with this? And if so, why? What are you basing this on?

Elessar · 26-30, M

@gol979 What's the part of
[quote][b]we still recommend that people who are completely unvaccinated accepts the offer of primary vaccination, ie. take 1st and 2nd dose, even if they are younger than 50 years[/b], as there may be a risk of serious illness if you are completely unvaccinated, even despite the new omicron variant[/quote]
that you didn't understand?

It says nowhere what you're saying. The sole reason why the offer is no longer generalized is that it's no longer necessary due to a highly immunized population and relatively lower risk in certain subpopulations (thus, in other words, tax money that would go to continuing mass vaccination is better spent elsewhere at this point in time, for this season and/or until the next variant)

gol979 · 41-45, M

@Elessar we can both read

"Children and adolescents only very rarely have a serious course of illness due to covid-19 with the omicron variant, which is why the offer of primary vaccination for children between 5 and 17 years will not be a general offer, but can be given after a specific medical assessment, cf. the Danish Health Authority's guidelines."

Ill ask again....you presumably think this is terrible advice? So are you advocating for babies from 6months to be injected? If so, why? What are you basing this on?

Elessar · 26-30, M

@gol979 And where in that statement you read it's "advised against"? It mostly says that since the relative risk for that subpop is lower it's no longer necessary to mass vaccinate it further, but at the same time "[i]we still recommend that people who are completely unvaccinated accepts the offer of primary vaccination, ie. take 1st and 2nd dose, even if they are younger than 50 years[/i]"

Again, you seriously have some evident text comprehension issues here. All that anarchical cr#p must've really fried your brain. How's your transfer to Scampia, NA, IT going btw?

gol979 · 41-45, M

@Elessar ok you disagree....strange you never put your point of view across. If you are advocating babies from 6months up should get the covid injection then just say so. And if you do think this should happen, why?

Elessar · 26-30, M

@gol979 Again, nice strawman. I'm not disagreeing, I'm pointing out that your source says literally the opposite of what you've understood.

Stating that your argument is full of sh*t isn't a matter of disagreeing, it's a matter of fact.

gol979 · 41-45, M

@Elessar so you agree with the general advice that children shouldnt get injected (im not quoting it again, as stated we can all read). Why?

Elessar · 26-30, M

@gol979 No, I don't agree with you, I agree with the Danish govt:

gol979 · 41-45, M

@Elessar so 6 month babies then? Or whats the age limit, if you have a preference?

Elessar · 26-30, M

They minimum age in Denmark is 5 years anyway.

gol979 · 41-45, M

@Elessar and in other countries its 6 months. So you are telling me after almost 3 years you dont have an opinion on this? What do you think the age should be that you have to have a covid injection? How many should you have? You do have very strong opinions on this but just arent giving your own thoughts on it

Elessar · 26-30, M

@gol979 Which countries? You've proven you're not reliable when it comes to providing information, so I won't trust anything you say that isn't backed by a 1st party official source. And whether it's safe or not in the infants is not up to you, other vaccinations are administered early (pertussis, polio, diphtheria comes to mind) for over 50+ years with no problems whatsoever.

Besides, you're telling me you still haven't understood this:

gol979 · 41-45, M

@Elessar again avoiding giving an opinion. Do you think 6 months is too young then?

I understand that. Those 2 paragraphs arent mutually exclusive. "Even if they are younger than 50" and "Children and adolescents only very rarely have a serious course of illness due to covid-19 with the omicron variant, which is why the offer of primary vaccination for children between 5 and 17 years will not be a general offer, but can be given after a specific medical assessment"

@gol979 What's the part of
[quote]And whether it's safe or not in the infants is not up to you, other vaccinations are administered early (pertussis, polio, diphtheria comes to mind) for over 50+ years with no problems whatsoever.[/quote]
that you haven't understood?

Still struggling with this btw?

@Elessar so you agree with babies at 6 months being covid injected?

Elessar · 26-30, M

@gol979 I agree with this:

And with this:

gol979 · 41-45, M

@Elessar your parameters are anyone below 50 and anyone 50+. So inject everyone.....including newborns. Thats even lower than the 6months that some countries are advising. How did you come to that decision. Would be interested to know

Elessar · 26-30, M

@gol979 I'm not even discussing that, as I said it's not up to you nor up to me deciding the age interval. That's your strawman, my point is that the Danish government never said what you say.
