Not only that, Denmark is in the top 10 in fully vaccinated population in the world, at close to 75% of the population. When you take into account ineligible people under 12, it is nearly the entire eligible population. (ages 0-19 account for roughly 22% of the population, and assuming 13.86% is under 12 and ineligible, you would have 88% plus of the total eligible population vaccinated. No wonder their reported cases are down! Denmark has administered at least 8,688,480 doses of COVID vaccines so far. Assuming every person needs 2 doses, that’s enough to have vaccinated about 74.7% of the country’s population.
Again this shows that vaccinations, while not perfect, are doing their job by lowering spread as well as severe cases. They won't stop a pandemic, but will get it under control so our medical systems can handle the much lower amount of severe cases that develop from people who are vaccinated.
Denmarks rate of infection per 100,000 is 54 over the last week, and 0-4 deaths per day in September. They also locked down schools, many businesses, and borders, albeit later than many other countries. Throughout the pandemic, they have had 449 deaths per million, which is somewhat inflated as they stayed open and had a lot of deaths early on (peak of 37 deaths in January with a decline to near 0 deaths per day since. After nearly the entire eligible population being vaccinated, the death rate is very low, even with the Delta variant being rampant from July forward.
