Remember mandatory vaccinations? This is, well, the opposite. We’ve come a long way in a year. Except at American colleges – which, insanely, are forcing mRNA boosters on students.
Denmark will bar almost everyone under 50 from receiving more mRNA Covid jabs, the Danish Health Authority said yesterday.
Denmark had already ended Covid shots for nearly everyone under 18. The new rules go much further.
Danes under 50 will only be allowed to receive the shots if they are “higher risk of becoming severely [emphasis added] from Covid-19.”
The Danish Health Authority has not yet defined those groups, but they will likely include only a handful of people, such as those receiving cancer treatments that suppress their immune systems. Pregnant women are unlikely to be included.
Denmark did not explicitly say the risks of mRNA jabs now outweigh their benefits for healthy people under 50.
But that view is implicit in the announcement, which does not merely discourage but actually bans shots for those people, even though Denmark expects “a large wave of [Covid] infection” in the next few months.
In other words, the health authority is not stopping shots because Covid has ended. It now believes most people are better off getting the coronavirus than taking more mRNA.

The Danish move is particularly significant because Denmark has an excellent national health care system and has aggressively collected data on Covid and vaccines.
Denmark was among the first countries to stop giving Covid shots to healthy children and teenagers. Now other European countries are beginning to follow, with Britain ending mRNA shots for almost all children 10 and under.
In yesterday’s announcement of the new policies, Denmark explicitly dropped any effort to halt the spread of the coronavirus and said that it will focus only on protecting people at very high risk:
We expect that a large part of the population will become infected with covid-19 during the autumn, and we therefore want to vaccinate those having the highest risk so that they are protected from severe illness.

Meanwhile, expect the same “fact-checkers” who insisted that Denmark’s move to stop vaccinating people under 18 wasn’t actually a move to stop vaccinating people under 18 to try to spin yesterday’s announcement too.
Good luck with that.
(“Denmark didn’t ‘ban’ Covid vaccines for children,” except, yeah, it pretty much did. Only the tiny minority of kids at very high risk from the coronavirus will be even considered for shots.)

Yet the growing push against mRNA shots for healthy children and young people has not percolated the woke hothouse that is American higher education.
Elite American universities, like the University of California-Davis, continue to announce their students will be required to receive additional mRNA jabs this fall – in this case, the “bivalent” vaccine, authorized by federal regulators based on data from a handful of mice.
What’s driving the obsession in American academia with Covid vaccines is not clear. But the health of students and rational risk-benefit analysis appear very low on the list.
