Perhaps if you posted the text instead of just the headline {intended to scare the crap out of people) it would be more meaningful.

Misinformation is the enemy of truth.

Norwegian officials have adjusted their advice on who should receive COVID-19 vaccines following a small number of deaths in older and frail people.

  © Fredrik Hagen/NTB via AP Svein Andersen was the first in Norway to receive the coronavirus vaccine in the capital Oslo, Sunday, Dec. 27, 2020.

The Norwegian Medicines Agency reported on Thursday that 13 people who got a dose of the vaccine died shortly after suffering side effects. That amounts to just 0.04 percent of the more than 30,000 people who have been given the jab across Norway in recent weeks.

 All the deaths occurred among patients in nursing homes, and all were over the age of 80.

 The agency listed fever and nausea as side effects which may have led to the deaths of some frail patients, it said in a report.

 Regulators are now leaving it up to each doctor to consider who should be vaccinated.

 What we say is that if you have patients who are very frail, very sick, and they have a short remaining lifespan, you should do some extra evaluation of the appropriateness of vaccinating these patients, Steinar Madsen, chief physician at the Norwegian Medicines Agency, told Euronews.

Read the report, particularly the highlighted area, 0.04%, selective quoting to spread fear is wrong.

Current infections worldwide approx 94.4million

Total deaths world wide approx 2.02 million

Death rate 2.14%, or 53 times higher than from vaccine attributed deaths.

Now matter how you look at it,23 people died because of the vaccine.

Where is the misinformation,please show me

 The misinformation is in the use of your word "because".    "Because" denotes causality.   The report says no more than the people died around the time of the vaccination.   Nowhere does the report say that they died as a consequence of being vaccinated.   23 very old and frail people dying shortly after a specific event is not outside statistical probability.   Noting that side effects like fever and nausea may accompany vaccination, and old age and frailty, in the persons that are subject of the report has led to a general warning to consider whether or not to vaccinate is the conclusion of the report.  The last line of the report is the information that is to be absorbed and not extrapolated into panic.

........ I'm sure if you had had the appropriate education it would all make sense.

 So sad when "Karen on Facebook" makes more sense to some people than does a state CMO.   And even sadder when people spread the rather silly ideas amplified with a good dose of outrageous predictions.   Kinda like when the actor selling Toilet Cleaner in the TV wears a white coat and has a stethoscope around its neck convinces the viewers blue coloured water is more effective than straight supermarket bleach.

'Not unduly concerned': Medical experts still confident in Pfizer vaccine despite reported deaths:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-18/pfizer-norway-vaccine-concerns-safe-australia-deaths/13065868

The TGA confirmed it had received reports of "about 30" deaths of people in nursing homes who received the vaccine, though noted approximately 400 people die in an ordinary week in Norwegian nursing homes.

Dr Madsen said about 45,000 patients had been vaccinated so far in Norway, most in nursing homes.

 

 

The longer we delay, the greater the chance that mutations will develop. Then we may be back to square one.

Instead of Frail & vulnerable people who are unlikely to transmit covid to others, why don't they vaccinate those who are most likely to spread the virus among the population first. ie Health workers, nursing home staff , bar staff and customers, people who live in crowded housing flats and in general people who move about and contact lots of people. Or, don't they have confidence that the vaccination will stop transmission and only as has been suggested prevent the virus making you sick?

The 30 or so that died were well into their 80s or more.

If your under should be OK. If your say...88 think twice. KISS.

To the best of my knowledge

The vaccine in Australia, will be rolled out in sequence, as laid down by the health guidelines

My age group 70 to 79, will be in the second call up

I assume, (but do not know, and have not looked into it)
That one day I will be told to go to, (such and such a place), to receive the Covid-19 vaccine

Some time later (after I have had the first vaccine), I will be told to go to, (such and such a place), to receive the booster vaccine

I would be surprised, if the authorities would be prepared to allow someone, to dictate when they would receive the vaccine, as the are about 26 million of us here

When I consider the logistics of vaccinating 26 million people, twice within a few short weeks/months
I doubt that they will keep some on hand, for when/if any anti anti-vaxers decide to change their minds

I believe that it will be the humane thing, to send any surplus vaccines we have left, to the countries that are hard hit by Covid-19

Also I have read, but have had no reason to keep any links, but I am sure people can google it

1. West Australia has said that it will not fine anyone for refusing the vaccine
2. One State (I think it was NSW), are thinking of a phone app, that says you have had the Covid-19 vaccine
   And if you have not had the vaccine, you will be refused entry to certain places

Life has risks, period.
If my name comes out of the vaccine draw I'll be first in line, I would prefer the odds of vaccine protection that may extend my life; to refusing vaccine, contracting COVID19 and ending up on life support or death as a consequence. I certainly have taken much greater risks with my life than accepting a shot in the arm.

Instead of thinking of one's self, think about the wider community. My concern is that a new mutation may put many more people at risk. So far this virus has not affected young children, but who is to say that all mutations will be so "benign"?
