But as a result, their vaccination campaigns were months behind the United States in the spring, and even further behind Britain. As late as June 1, only 22 in 100 people in Denmark were fully vaccinated. As of now 74 in 100 are.
Thus these countries are now in what I call the “happy vaccine valley” - the three-to four-month period following the second dose when antibodies are high enough that the vaccines actually appear to work. (For those of you keeping score at home, that’s two weeks of negative efficacy after the first shot, a month of maybe 50% efficacy, three months of near-complete protection, and then a rapid fall to what looks like 0% protection within three months. Science!)
I assume the Danes are smart enough to know exactly where they stand. They also know that since they have a healthy population, Covid-19 is at most a trivial problem for them on a societal basis.
How trivial?
Denmark has about 6 million people.
As of Sept. 9, about 2,600 of them had died of Covid since March 2020.
How many of those people were under 50?
Twenty-six. Yes, 26. Veintiseis. Just over 1 per month.
Five were under 30. Five, out of 2.1 million Danes.
Yes, you read that right. (2/4)
