Lol. It happened again. A journalist calls me about COVID misinformation, and because I'm not as fearmongering as they hoped, they omit me from the article without telling me🙃

This time, it was about growing concern among Danes regarding the COVID vaccine. I said it's perfectly understandable why people are concerned, as vaccines are being developed at record speeds. And just because there's concern doesn't mean they'll refuse a vaccine when it's here

I also stressed that Denmark's own health authorities have raised concern multiple times in national media about some of the vaccines worldwide that are skipping normal procedure to be faster. So why is it so weird that the public is concerned as well?

I'm of course not saying that growing vaccine skepticism is great or that it shouldn't be a concern of health authorities. But I don't think it makes sense to frame concern as some kind of "proof" of a post-truth era or something like that

I also reminded the journalist that a 'like' on Facebook is not the same as a "proof" of intent... Apparently not so interesting...
