Wow, this almost suggests covid is implicated in an unbelievable number of deaths. And that vaccinated people should wear respirators if they want to remain abled.

Tens of thousands of annual cases of chickenpox, rotavirus, and other vaccine preventable diseases a year - in a country of six million people.
Not only will Denmark’s vaccine schedule not work for the US, it already isn’t working for Denmark.

Should the US adopt Denmark's vaccine schedule for children? @jakescottmd.bsky.social argues no in a piece that points out the risks such a move would pose for American kids. www.statnews.com/2025/12/19/d...
Why Denmark's vaccine schedule works for Denmark — but not for the United States
With its vaccine schedule, “Denmark has made a values choice to accept preventable hospitalizations and illnesses that other countries have chosen to prevent.”

Shocking, basic infection control works 🙄
Imagine if we had 94.7% less absences from work and school, less cancelled plans, less lost income, less infections damaging immune systems.
It would be as if there was an improvement in Public Health.

"If HCWs wear N95 respirators and surgical masks throughout, the total infection risk can be reduced by 94.7 % and 53.9 %, respectively Increasing the ventilation rate from 1 ACH to 6 ACH reduced the infection risk. ."

4/ Instead, the policy risks locking-in greater fossil fuel dependency and could amount to a corporate capture of renewables. The policy risks undermining public trust in the energy transition and risks increasing people’s bills.

That the lives of disabled or chronically ill Americans don’t matter.
That healthcare is not a right in America.
