Vaccine-sceptics are adopting an approach to the coronavirus regulations that many might think is surprising.

In light of the rules making it increasingly hard to live a ‘normal life’ without being vaccinated, many are deliberately infecting themselves with corona so they can qualify for a corona pass once they have recovered.

TV2 recently spoke to two women, Dorte and Kirsten (neither is their real name), who did just that.

No sweet end of the lollipop for Karen
The women are both members of a private social media group that enables like-minded individuals to get together with people infected with corona.

Dorte did not need their help, however. “My son and his friends were sick and in isolation. I went around and hugged them, ate from the same plates as them or drank from the same glass,” she revealed.

“It’s because I’m just so tired of this. So it’s to get a quick corona pass and avoid being tested all the time. And then becoming immune to the disease.”

Kirsten, meanwhile, shared a lollipop with an infected friend, but failed to get infected!

Actions worry experts
Experts are understandably concerned by the revelations.

“It is worrying that COVID-19 is a disease that someone will actively seek out – especially when there are vaccines that are effective and safe,” Dr Andreas Rudkjøbing, who works with emergency preparedness and infectious diseases at the Danish Health and Medicines Authority, told TV2. 

Since November 26, companies have had permission to request a corona pass from their employees. Refusal to comply could cost an employee their job.

The National Board of Health recommends earlier births
The National Board of Health would like to carry out more inductions. It therefore intends to lower the limit on how long a woman can remain pregnant in a bid to carry out an additional 5,500 every year. 

Minus interest rates might be illegal
Lawyers from the Consumer Ombudsman have cast major doubt on the banks’ right to charge negative interest rates, reports TV2. Jyske Bank started the practice earlier this year, and then several other banks followed suit, lowering the taxable amount every time. As things stand, negative interest is payable on all savings of over 100,000 kroner. 

New fungal species in Denmark
