Denmark bans COVID vaccines for children | Western Standard - Jonathan Bradley:
August 10, 2022 - "The Danish government barred children under 18 years old from taking COVID-19 vaccines because of the low risk they face from the virus. 'Therefore, it will no longer be possible for children and young people under the age of 18 to get the 1st jab, and from 1 September 2022 it will no longer be possible to get the 2nd jab,' said the Danish government in a June statement.
"The statement said high-risk children can be vaccinated after being assessed by a doctor.
"The Danish government said many people have been vaccinated and infected with COVID-19. Immunity in Denmark remains high.... Invitations for people to be vaccinated will no longer be sent out. People who turn 18 years old and received two doses will not receive an invitation for the third. If people are older than 18, they can book their third dose.
"The Danish government said it continues to encourage unvaccinated people 18 and older to be vaccinated, as they are at a higher risk for serious illness. It said it recommends unvaccinated people wait until the fall to be vaccinated.
"The risk for COVID-19 is greater the older people become, so the Danish government said it will target those 40 years old and older. It added younger people might benefit from vaccines if they have risk factors such as chronic diseases and severe obesity....
"This approach is different from what Health Canada recommends, as it approved Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for children on July 14. Health Canada said the Moderna vaccine can be given to children between the ages of six months and five years. It will be administered in doses one-quarter the size of what is approved for adults. Pfizer's vaccine for young children was submitted to Health Canada in June and remains under review.
"Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet apologized for promoting COVID-19 narratives in January. 'We failed,' said Ekstra Bladet. 'For almost two years, the press and the population have been almost hypnotically preoccupied with the authorities (sic) daily corona totals.'"
