Public health authorities in multiple countries have begun restricting access to or recommending against shots for some groups
In a move that major corporate media outlets refused to cover when the story dropped, the Danish Health Authority is now limiting shots for Danes under age 50 to only those who are at high risk for severe Covid or have close contact “with patients or citizens who are at higher risk of becoming severely ill from covid-19” in “the healthcare and elderly care sector as well as in selected parts of the social services sector.”
Fact-checkers have tried to spin this as anything but an admission that the shots aren’t totally safe and effective. But if the shots were likely to provide a benefit outweighing potential risks for younger citizens, taking into account widespread pre-existing immunity and the low risk of severe Covid under age 50 (which the Danish Health Authority has), why are they restricting vaccine administration, when Denmark already has the apparatus to do unlimited jabs for teens and adults as before? They could have told younger Danes they’re free to take a booster, but they don’t think it’s necessary. Instead, they chose to restrict access. Policies speak louder than fact checks.
Regardless of whether safety concerns helped drive the policy change, Denmark’s decision undermines the philosophy of maximum vaccination. For an entire country well-respected on the global stage to not just issue statements but actively restrict half their population from receiving doses is a serious blow to “the science” the CDC and FDA claim to rely on.
In stark contrast to Denmark’s approach, the United States has maintained a policy goal of what can be called “maximum vaccination”: Everyone should get vaccinated regardless of whether they’ve already had a SARS-COV-2 infection. Then, with few exceptions, they must get frequent booster doses indefinitely to “recharge immunity.” Yet as Denmark clearly shows, the entire world doesn’t share the CDC’s and FDA’s unfettered enthusiasm for Pfizer’s and Moderna’s cash cows. Other countries and at least one U.S. state are rolling back recommendations and even access to the Covid shots, threatening the supposed consensus on the necessity of mass vaccination. --->READ MORE HERE
In a rare moment, Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel admitted that COVID is akin to a seasonal flu and that only older people and those who have compromised immune systems need to get vaccinated.
Speaking at a finance conference Monday, Bancel noted “I think it’s going to be like the flu. If you’re a 25-year-old, do you need an annual booster every year if you’re healthy?”
“You might want to… but I think it’s going to be similar to flu where it’s going to be people at high-risk, people above 50 years of age, people with comorbidities, people with cancer and other conditions, people with transplants,” the Moderna head added.
Bancel urged that it is “very important to think about” whether or not to get Covid boosters, adding that there are “1.5billion people” on the planet who have vulnerabilities to such diseases, but emphasising that younger people “are going to have to decide for themselves what they want to do”.
