Your own documentation shows that 67% of these deaths were *from* not *with COVID-19* in the 5th wk- that's a *huge* number & a big increase - and even at that point just under the 1st wave peak. At this point it's likely even higher. Stop gaslighting the public. Do your job.

I and many others have been shocked by the messaging coming out of the Danish public health body- saying MIS-C is a self-limiting syndrome? I guess things that kill you can be self-limiting in a way. But what about the children who end up with long-term sequelae?
Discussions around excess deaths dropping (which has reversed now) without acknowledging that excess deaths will drop in winter if behaviour changes due to reduction in *other* respiratory deaths even as COVID-19 deaths rise!
We saw this in England- covid deaths increased while excess deaths dropped. Please don't pretend that this means that it's good news for COVID-19- it isn't. it's just replacing one type of death with another.
Do you know that COVID-19 deaths in children exceed those from other childhood illnesses both in the UK and the US? Please stop saying that COVID-19 has no severe impacts on children. You accuse others of spreading misinformation while doing so yourself.
Public health organisations have a duty to the public. And you're badly failing yours.
Note: If you want to read the SSI reports, and don't speak Danish- you can go to google translate and choose the translate document option to read these in English - the translation is pretty good.
