If you don't speak danish, I'll translate.....

They are scaling down Covid surveillance in Denmark. > 40,000 Omicron cases, 51 hospitalized and < 5 deaths.

This is disgusting and insulting. You act like < 5 deaths is a good thing. You don't give a rat's ### about those grieving families. Those deaths were real. Those people were real. Their family's grief is real. I don't know how you fools live with yourselves.

Get your second booster. Wear three masks. Lock yourself in your house and stay away from everyone. If it saves one life... it's worth it.

This disregard for other people's lives is depraved and not the kind of society we should all be striving for. There is a Utopia within reach if you fools would just OBEY!

Oh, and by the way, I'm better than all of you.
Do better, people. Be better.

A hell of a lot more than 5 people die from other causes.

This type of reaction is ignorant and childish. Nobody is saying those lives were irrelevant. It’s the exaggerated mandates, shutdowns, cancelations, and life-altering economical impact that are the problem. We are throwing atomic bombs at anthills.

I think you are inferring that I don’t care about the deaths of 5 people. In actuality, I am thrilled that the death rate is dramatically down from prior strains, so many more survive.

If you believe that we can stop this virus with vaccines and facemasks, you are wrong. I think and hope this was sarcasm by you, but in society today, who knows.

You're wasting your life.

Let's say you will have coup'd yourself up for (at least!) two years before you out yourself. Let's say you live 85 years. You've locked away 2.3% of your life (!!!) in fear of an event with maybe a .005% chance of happening.

That's an enormously poor purchase. But hey, you pays your money and makes your choice.

Well, you know that some people do have responsibilities for the care of others. And many of these caregivers (i.e., the maskers, vaxxers, and stay-away-from the crazy non-vaxxers) care for immuno-suppressed others, mentally-deficient others, and small children that can't be vaxxed.
Lordy. If you self-righteous, uncaring idiots had been around during the peak of polio, we would all have grown-up in Iron lungs. In 1962 when the polio Vax was widely distributed,, parents and children lined -up for blocks and hours. Gladly! Gladly!
And y'all are scared of a shot that has saved many lives -- as non-vaxxers continue to die at higher rates while infecting others - a few will die and a few will be scarred for life.
Good luck with that. Hope you don't do serious damage to a loved-one.

The vaccine doesn’t stop infection and spreading infection, so if you’re vaxxed why would you care if anyone else is?

And why would you want a healthy child to be vaxxed? Out of the thousands of kids that have gotten covid, less than 100 have died from covid that didn’t have other health problems. There’s more of a chance of your kid dying in a car crash on the way to get the jab then dying of covid.

Careful comparing our ridiculously obese and perpetually sick population to a Scandinavian country. Those same 40,000 cases would prove to be catastrophic here…especially in the hotly buttered troughs of the Southeast.

Not just catastrophic, it would be an emergency crisis!

then it will skyrocket for a month or five weeks or so, and then plummet. Not as deadly and not nearly as severe as the previous strands, but the mere skyrocket is a concern because you never know how the hospitalization rate will go. It is just a bad time of the year for it to hit , though, with the holidays, travel, football games, etc.

It doesn't help that hospitals are understaffed after letting about 30% of the workers go due to vaccine noncompliance.

over the vaccine mandate is very, very small. These are educated, mostly intelligent. The large number have quit over the added stress and workload from covid patients. I know some denier is going to respond with lies and false statistics, but that’s how it is, anyway.

Great to here.

In WV since the onset,

age 16-20 TWO deaths

under age 16 ZERO deaths

Why are they insisting on vaccines for children ??

Why no studies re the reported changes in menstrual cycles in young women ?

Why no studies on heart problems from the vaccine vs from covid ?

Why vaccines for kids? 1) Why not? It only turns 0.001% into werewolves.

There are studies that show covid is less harmful then the vaccine in males under the age of 18. The risk of problems with either is very low tho. So why get vaccinated if you are young? What's the reasoning?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Because if you don't, you'll expose the vaccinated. ??***

If they are at risk or have close contact with someone that is, sure no one is trying to stop people from being vaccinated. Trying to mandate that kids get vaccinated is ridiculous. A healthy child is at no risk from Covid based on the data. They have a much better chance of being struck by lightning.

This virus is extremely contagious and is deadly to old people, fat people, and people with other health conditions.

I don’t understand why this is getting over politicized. Trying to pretend it’s dangerous for young, healthy people is counterproductive to getting the right people protected because it breeds mistrust.

That us the problem. They wanna shove numbers down our throats about deaths and positive cases but don't want to break the numbers down and treat this with age groups. They want everybody to get the vaccine when there is no telling how it effects people long term. They claim it is safe but there is no way to know any drug is safe after less then 2 year of studying it.

Yeah it’s absolutely not safe. Sure most seem to do just fine but others have had minor side effects, major side effects, and death. Let’s see what the long term complications might be. I hope there aren’t any for everyone who took the shot.

You can tell something is up when on of the young girls in the vaccine trail is paralyzed with a feeding tube yet you heard nothing about that on the main stream media. I think chances of side effects from the vaccine are very low but they should be told.

Side effects might be low in numbers but I just know way too many people with vaccine issues for my little world to be an outlier. Of most people tell me I’m a liar when I say that but it’s very true.

The side effects you get are also caused by virus


Dec 29, 2021, 11:23 AM
Reply

Except for allergies to ingredients. The ingredient list is pretty simple and there is no mercury in these vaccines if you’ve heard that bit of misinformation. The myocarditis is caused by your immune system over-responding to the proteins you make after the mRNA vaccine. It can do the same thing when you get naturally infected. All the flu-like symptoms are also caused by your immune system.

You aren’t a liar, but I believe all the people with pronounced side effects would have had a bad experience with a natural infection.

Not total.

But they peaked at 75 deaths per week with omicron, 200 deaths a week last winter, and about 100 deaths a week when it first hit.

And for some relativity....Denmark is about the size of SC in population. Denmark's 5.8 million people have had 3,115 covid deaths total. In SC, with our 5.15 million people, we've had 14,550 deaths total.

Then you have to understand they had VAST covid restrictions right through about two months ago, then they lowered them to levels still worse than the most liberal US state. So there's that aspect.

And lest we forget vaccines, Denmark is 42% triple vaxxed, and 77% double vaxxed. SC is 53% double vaxxed.

Point is we're not Denmark. And SC isn't the US. So just sit back and see how SC compares to a similarly populated Denmark.
