More than 76% of Denmark’s population is fully vaccinated, but the country’s Covid-19 infection rate reaches record “new high.”
QUICK FACTS:
- 76.5% of Denmark’s population has been “fully vaccinated,” and 78.5% has received at least one dose of the experimental Covid-19 vaccine, according to Google data.
- Denmark’s vaccination rate is high, considering 54.8% of the world population has received at least one dose of the coronavirus jab, putting Denmark more than 23 percentage points higher than the world average.
- However, Denmark’s infection rate is currently “at peak and rising,” according to Reuters, the average number of new Covid-19 infections in the country every day reaching a “new high.”
- “COVID-19 infections in Denmark are at their peak—the highest daily average reported,” Reuters reports.
- There were 4,680 new infections on Dec 3 alone, also according to Google data.
- Denmark’s high vaccination rate and high Covid-19 infection rate raises questions about the vaccine’s effectiveness, and contradicts the statement from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that “COVID-19 vaccines can reduce the risk of people spreading the virus that causes COVID-19” as well as the organization’s recommendation to “get vaccinated as soon as you can” in order to “maximize protection from the Delta variant and prevent possibly spreading it to others.”
