I really wish all the anti-vaxxer types would just listen to TWiV. The hosts and guests both openly and candidly talk about some of the disagreements they have with the prevailing public health guidelines while at the same time give so much detail and depth into virology and immunology so as to show how full of shit the big anti-vax misinformation peddlers are. So many anti-vaxxers say you can't have any disagreement…

Calling alex berenson a journalist is a travesty. The fact that he is a crank is obvious from all his writing about marijuana that precedes the pandemic.

Yikes, that is not somewhat misleading, that is extremely misleading (assuming your comment is accurate—I haven't dug through the article). I've edited the title now. Submitted title was "Denmark no longer offering Covid vaccinations to healthy adults under 50". That title was highly editorialized, which breaks the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html : " Please use the original title, un…

I don’t think the original title was misleading. It says on the page: Who will be offered vaccination against covid-19? People aged 50 years and over will be offered vaccination. People aged under 50 who are at a higher risk of becoming severely ill from covid-19 will also be offered vaccination against covid-19. It doesn’t say people under 50 who have had 2 or fewer shots. The comment you responded to seems to be a…

The page explicitly and repeatedly affirms the argument made upthread, is about "re-vaccination", and cites population-wide adherence to Denmark's first round of vaccinations as the reason why re-vaccination is required only for high risk groups. You aren't meant to "read between the lines" to generate a new title on Hacker News.

Have you considered that a lot of people in the medical field have always been latent antivaxxers and that was just the moment to out themselves? Spoiler alert, antivaxxers are always wrong.

How utterly dogmatic and closed-minded.

> People aged under 50 are generally not at particularly higher risk of becoming severely ill from covid-19. In addition, younger people aged under 50 are well protected against becoming severely ill from covid-19, as a very large number of them have already been vaccinated and have previously been infected with covid-19, and there is consequently good immunity among this part of the population." Please say one in a…

So, are the risks of Covid lower than the risks of the vaccine? And do you have evidence to back your implied assertion?

This is just wrong. Danish health authorities still offer and recommend COVID vaccines (two doses) for everybody, and an additional booster shot for everybody above 18. It is only the second booster shot which is only offered to people above 50. See https://www.sst.dk/da/corona/Vaccination point 10

You are 100% wrong. This is the same article I myself pointed to. It says they are offering vaccination only to 50 and older or below 50 with health issues.

The headline is somewhat misleading. At least many in this thread have misunderstood the issue. Danish health authorities still recommend everyone to get vaccinated against COVID, including healthy people under 50. Everyone should get two jabs, everyone over 18 should get a third "booster" shot. The vaccine talked about in the OP are the fourth vaccine jab, i.e. second booster shot, which is only offered to above-50…

You are saying that someone cannot write about marijuana without being a crank? Not a very convincing point

He is the first journalist to take twitter to court and get unbanned, so he is in fact already a historical journalist, wether you agree with him or not.

The title is still slightly misleading (sorry!).

"Denmark no longer offering second Covid booster shot..." suggest that Denmark have at one point offered the second booster to below-50 and have now stopped.

This is not the case.

Until now, the second booster have only been offered to a smaller group of very old or very vulnerable individuals. Now Denmark is rolling out larger scale vaccinations, offering the second booster to everyone over 50.

> assuming your comment is accurate—I haven't dug through the article

The article is somewhat unclear since it just assumes everyone already has the three jabs. The "autumn vaccination programme" is the second booster. A better source to the official policy is the page in Danish:

https://www.sst.dk/da/corona/Vaccination

Google translate to English: https://www-sst-dk.translate.goog/da/corona/Vaccination?_x_t...

Key quote:

> 10. Do you still recommend that one take the 1st, 2nd and 3rd shots against covid-19 if one has not yet been vaccinated?

> The Danish Health Authority continues to recommend that persons who have not been vaccinated be vaccinated with the 1st and 2nd shots. This also applies even if they are younger than 50, as there may be a certain risk of serious illness if you are not vaccinated.

I'm saying his writings about marijuana are cranckish, as can be confirmed by anyone with any expertise in the field.

>He is the first journalist to take twitter to court and get unbanned

The fact that he was a "journalist" had nothing to do either with the reason for banning him or why he was restored (he was restored solely because a twitter employee behaved like a moron).
