throughout covid, we’ve seen the nordic countries if not always get it right, at least try to play it straight on covid. unlike much of the rest of the west, their health agencies seem to enjoy quite a lot of public support and confidence.

it’s because (gasp!) when they make mistakes, they own up to then and then they (double gasp!) change their course of action.

if you’re an american or a canadian or a brit, you may be a bit disoriented here. this seems inconceivable. but there it is, live in living color: honesty in public health. the mythical beast has been found.

From mid-July last year, the first 12-15-year-old children in Denmark were invited to receive a vaccine against coronavirus. In November, the 5-11-year-olds were also recommended to be vaccinated against the virus.

At the time, it was said that the vaccinations were not predominantly for the children's own sake, but to ensure epidemic control in Denmark.
