>On Wednesday, 18 patients were admitted to OUH with corona, three of whom are in intensive care. And there is one group that fills most of the beds.
– If you look at who is in the beds, it tips towards the non-vaccinated, says Anne Øvrehus, she says.
She is chief physician at the Infectious Diseases Department at OUH. On Monday, they reopened their special coronary care unit, which had otherwise been closed down since September.
– Two out of three are not vaccinated, and they have a longer and harder course of the disease. On average, the non-vaccinated are hospitalised for eight days, while the vaccinated are hospitalised for four days.
It is not only the vaccine that separates the two groups of patients in the corona ward at OUH. There is also a big difference in the age of the patients.
– Of those admitted, the non-vaccinated are on average 35 years younger than the vaccinated, says Anne Øvrehus.
I don’t want it for other people’s sake
Vollsmose Parish in Odense is one of the places where fewer people have said yes to the vaccine. Here, 65% have completed the vaccination, compared to almost 86% in the remaining Odense parishes who have received both shots.
Charlotte Scheppan, head of health in the municipality of Odense, is not happy with the figures.
– It is obviously not optimal, and we are constantly working hard to get the vaccination uptake higher, she says.
That’s why Odense Municipality is stepping up its efforts in the Vollsmose district.
– We have hired street planners who go out to sports events, lectures, schools, associations and spread the message that it is important to be vaccinated, says Charlotte Scheppan.
There are 42 new infected with corona in the parish since Tuesday. Martin Larsen, who lives in Vollsmose, is one of those who has not been vaccinated.
– I don’t feel I need the vaccine at this time. There are many reasons, but there has been talk about whether the vaccine has been good enough, he says.
But what if you infect others?
– It’s fine that others are vaccinated and then it works for them. I don’t want it for anyone else,” says Martin Larsen.
Anne Øvrehus, senior physician at the Department of Infectious Diseases, says that when they talk to their patients, they have typically been infected at family gatherings or by people they live with.
– Vaccination is a choice you make for yourself and for your family. It’s a contagious disease and whatever you think about it, it’s not individual, it’s for others too,” she says.
Unlike Martin Larsen, Mohammad Ali from Vollsmose is vaccinated.
– You do it because the government recommends it. You have faith in the state and the National Board of Health, that’s why we do it, he says.
Do you know anyone who is not vaccinated?
– Very few. I think it varies why you don’t want it. There are different attitudes to the vaccine, he says.
Are we worried?
The infection is increasing across Funen, and in the past seven days 1,060 Funen residents have been found to be infected with coronavirus.
– Are we worried? Yes, when the infection rate increases, we see that the hospitalisation rate subsequently increases. We have not seen the peak yet, says Anne Øvrehus, senior physician at the Department of Infectious Diseases at OUH.
Although the infection rate is rising, the capacity at OUH is not yet fully utilised.
– We can expand if necessary. The next step is to call in more staff and open more beds, she says.
According to Anne Øvrehus, it is important to distinguish between two types of corona patients.
– Some are suffering from covid19. Some have a positive test, but they also have something else wrong with them, which is why they are not admitted to the corona ward, she says.
On Tuesday, a broad majority in the Danish parliament decided to redesignate covid-19 as a disease of public concern. This means that from 06.00 on Friday, the corona pass will be introduced in a number of places, including restaurants and discos.
78 percent of hospitalizations from covid 19 are overweight people. I believe those are the ones taking up most of the hospital beds?
The same old propaganda, which ignores hospital beds are always full by design, and that unvaccinated are mostly immigrants and people on the fringes of society, old people and people who already have compromised health to a greater or smaller degree.

Just don’t admit them to the hospital anymore.

I suppose you have to share bullshit like this, to feel better and convince yourself that taking the third and [soon fourth booster](https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1172947/fourth-dose-may-be-required-to-tackle-pandemic-expert-says/) injection makes a difference. This is junk “science”.
People current trust the vaccination effect
