Summary
A new peer-reviewed study of nationwide German data finds suspected adverse-event reports for COVID-19 vaccines were sharply elevated in the earliest weeks of rollout, then fell suddenly. The authors call it a possible batch-dependent safety signal. Danish physician Dr. Vibeke Manniche, the study’s lead author and the only Danish doctor to speak out publicly against lockdowns from the start, joins to break down the findings. Published in the International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine, the analysis covers the first three and a half years of Germany’s vaccination campaign. For one product, early-rollout reporting rates were roughly 80 times higher than the rates seen just weeks later. Dr. Manniche also makes the case for why the US could learn from Denmark’s childhood vaccine schedule. Filmmaker Michael Pack, president of Palladium Pictures, discusses their new WSJ Opinion documentary “The Lockdown Dissidents.” Director Rand Courtney speaks on “La Lucha: Getting Schooled in America,” which follows five teens through poverty, trauma, and a broken school system. Dr. Drew is featured in the film. Dr. Vibeke Manniche, MD, PhD, is a Danish physician and author of 35 books on children, family, sleep, and medicine. With 34 years of medical practice, she has worked in epidemiology across rare diseases and public health. She was the only Danish doctor to speak publicly against COVID lockdowns from the outset.
