Twenty-three people died in Norway within days of receiving their first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, with 13 of those deaths — all nursing home patients — apparently related to the side effects of the shots, health officials said.
Common reactions to the vaccine, including fever and nausea, “may have contributed to a fatal outcome in some frail patients,” Sigurd Hortemo, chief physician at the Norwegian Medicines Agency, said in a Friday statement.
All 13 were nursing home patients and at least 80 years old. While officials aren’t expressing serious concern, they are adjusting their guidance on who should receive the vaccine.
The news comes just over a week after officials reported the deaths of just two nursing home residents after they received the Pfizer jab.
More than 30,000 people in Norway have received the first shot of the Pfizer or Moderna coronavirus vaccine in the Scandinavian country since late last month, according to official figures.
“We are not alarmed by this,” Steinar Madsen, medical director with the agency, told Norwegian broadcaster NRK. “It is quite clear that these vaccines have very little risk, with a small exception for the frailest patients.”
“Doctors must now carefully consider who should be vaccinated,” he added. “Those who are very frail and at the very end of life can be vaccinated after an individual assessment.”

That is the real question...if it actually helps the infection rate go down. Also, I am not hearing much about protection from the new strains. I think researchers are assuming it protects from all the strains detected up until now.
Wonder it that is why I am seeing little tiny pink Bill Gates once in a while. Like a small fly, he buzzes by and when I swat at him he farts $ signs.
Died from vaccine...Flu.
So let me get this straight...the vaccinne kills a large number of people who are going to be the ones that want or need it the most because they are the most vulnerable. Is that about right?
They have had decades to study the flu but yet each vaccine is nothing more than an educated guess. This is an educated guess with an edtra helping of panic and government pressure. What could possibly go wrong?
no vax....
..... follow the Kennedy lead
Chump change really. We just went over 400,000 deaths today.
The long term effect is that it will turn you into a socialist drone.
Pretty soon you will be chanting: “Gimme Dat! Gimme Dat!”
I got behind a sister in the catfish house a few minutes ago and I had odd urges...so you could be right
The remainder of the vaccinated are now sterile.
Seeing what I’ve seen in nursing homes in the past few years, dealing with elderly and very sick relatives, I can HONESTLY say that if I were sick and frail and living in a NH, I would WELCOME covid!
Pneumonia has always been called “the old person’s friend” for a reason.
So....it’s killing off the very people it was suppose to protect. Nice.
They waited too long...Covid got them before the vaccine could start working...
If this is happening in a very small country, what is happening in the USA as thousands of old and frail people are being vaccinated?
No, the vaccine got them before the Covid could.
I suspect we are going to find a very similar death rate of those high risk people who take the vaccine as opposed to those who come down with the disease.
The pharmaceutical companies are immune from lawsuit. Those who are getting the vaccine are just unpaid Guinea pigs.
Bill Gates promised this would happen and he told us to STFU about it because it’s none of our business.
“They are not alarmed” probably because it allows the to kill off that pesky demographic that have the best values.
