So, Denmark is smart enough to take one of the many 'off ramps' that have presented themselves over the last 18 months (one of the early ones was Summer 2020, when cases plummeted and the NYT -- the NYT! -- reported that PCR tests were giving 90% false positives).
Unfortunately, at least in my personal experience, a good part of the US has been propagandized into a state of paralyzed terror. They are well beyond the point of reason and they don't WANT to take an off ramp.
I'd hoped that the vaccine would, at least, serve as an inoculation against *fear*, but here we are with the vaccinated (i.e., purportedly protected) being terrified of the unvaccinated. When has that ever happened before, with a "vaccine"?
I'm happy the Danish government feels their citizens are sane enough to take the off-ramp. Sadly, it's Karen driving the car here -- white knuckled, teeth gritted behind her triple mask, and she ain't about to slow down.
This is in line with the US military data. There are 1.3 million active/reserve military under the age of 30 in the United States. Exactly THREE of the people in that cohort have died from (with?) COVID in 20 months.and that's with a 10% positivity rate, which is only marginally lower than non-military positivity.
So if you're under thirty, and in good enough physical shape to join the military, your odds of dying from COVID in a given year are 30X LESS than dying in a fatal automobile crash. If you are in that group and have already recovered from COVID, the odds of you dying from a subsequent infection are in line with getting struck by lightning or drowning in your bathtub.
Can't wait for the smooth brains to jump and frantically waive their hands screeching about relative risk reduction from the vaccines, when ABSOLUTE risk reduction for certain cohorts is functionally ZERO.
The Covid 19 virus has shown without a doubt that Americans , in general, are in very poor health compared to other countries around the world. The sad thing is, the severity of covid 19 can easily be mitigated or eliminated through losing weight and better nutrition ( vit D3 ) and yet we have heard nothing from the so called public health experts or mainstream media. Vitamin D should have been recommended and/or distributed to every household ! Hell, the FK. H. Fauci
takes it !! Prevention is not profitable. We do not have a healthcare system in this country,
Alex, I think the goal for the USofA is pretty simple. I suspect that most of the vaccine efficacy actually comes from natural immunity. People that were previously infected that went ahead and got the shot. Natural immunity eventually wins out here as we have to be getting close to the 50 + % of people in the country that have had Covid. This number of protected individuals increases as Covid spreads. Soon Covid will be endemic as these rapid massive outbreaks become less and less common.
Team Vax will declare victory with the massive vaccination program - that by the way - it looks like it just spread the disease faster. Just ask the Cornell students! They have 5 times the infections they had last year. Also less testing and fewer students. 95% Vaccinated.
Unfortunately - it looks like they are really focussed on jabbing young children who have no risk from Covid. I really fear the damage this could cause our kids.
My sister just received an email from the HR Dept at the company she has worked at for 20 years. Receive the vaccine, or be terminated. The company receives funding from Medicare and Medicaid, so she isn’t even eligible to take a weekly test to keep her job.
I could cry right now. If we don’t have control over what we put in our body, we no longer have rights as a human.
In April 2020, a paper was published in the US that implicated obesity as the number one risk factor for bad outcomes from covid. Obesity, not old age or anything else, took first place. It reported that the virus replicates more efficiently in ectopic fat, that fat people shed the virus more efficiently, and that explained not only whole households of obese people getting sick rapidly, but Asians' higher infection rates. Asians have higher percentage of body mass that's fat for a given BMI, than whites. But none of this made the news, because fat shaming is worse than abandoning fat people to a death from covid. They were denied a prophylactic measure by a stupidly woke culture.
If I’m reading this right - if my wife gets covid, she will turn into a Swedish model like the pic in the article. That would be a miracle for a dumpy guy like me!
If our government and the CDC did not constantly change its stories, move the goalposts and be honest about the vaccine, more Americans might be more open to getting the vaccine. But our government lies, so it's not surprising so many millions do not trust our government. Instead, the government is going to use the unvaccinated as scapegoats instead of making a better vaccine, and creating better therapeutics. Biden needs to blame someone, since he has done nothing except whine about cloth masks which as we know, do virtually nothing. Where are the N95 masks for the most vulnerable?
Think of how manageable Covid would be if the powers that be would promote the cures? It is criminal to allow people to die that could have been cured !
Alex...I can always count on you to put everything into perspective and a smile on my face. Bless you! My mental health needs you more than ever; you’re keeping me within the rails. Keep fighting the good fight.
The Fortune 500 insurance company I work for just notified us there will be a $25 per pacycheck surcharge in 2022 if you have not been vaccinated. $650 per year. Because the unvaccinated are so expensive and apparently driving costs up???? $650 is a lot of money to those in a low salary grade.
I hope you're right. Of course, every time I think we've crossed the rubicon...the latest revelation about incompetence or malfeasance or failure will surely break the dam...nothing happens and talking heads on tv ignore or spin or lie. Really, sometimes, doesn't it feel like a sci-fi movie?

The difference between Denmark and the US? They aren’t cursed with Tony Fauci.

Can you please start a podcast. I can help you get started if you need any tips. It’s simple and fun!

Ha! Danes are thinner, I bet. We put our effort into getting fatter.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Denmark backtracks once cases start rising again.
