No Change in Norway's Covid Vaccination Policy

This is a follow-up to my post “Pfizer Vaccine Kills Twenty-three Norwegians” published January 15, 2021. 

Norway will not change its policy on the use of Pfizer-BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine following the deaths among highly frail recipients – but officials reminded health workers to properly assess patients before deciding whether to give them the jab. 

Meanwhile, the WHO Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety had come out to say that the reports of deaths in elderly people receiving the vaccine “are in line with” what would be expected for that demographic. And it emphasized that the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks of not being vaccinated against Covid-19.

I take it to mean that no vaccine will be 100% safe.

Liverpool won again! We beat West Ham United 3-1 and that precious victory moves us up to third in the table on Sunday.




Mohamed Salah scored for the first time in seven Premier League games with a brilliant double. 

A trademark quick shift and curling finish from the Egypt striker in the fifty-seventh minute was reward for a bright start to the second half from the Reds after Jurgen Klopp's side had failed to add a cutting edge to their first-half possession. 

Salah capped a scintillating Liverpool counter-attack to double his side's lead 11 minutes later, instantly controlling Xherdan Shaqiri's looping pass over the top before prodding past the Hammers goalie. 

Liverpool’s third goal came when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's backheeled one-two with Roberto Firmino set the Brazilian free and the substitute squared for Georginio Wijnaldum to coolly fire home in the eighty-fourth minute. 

Liverpool's second win in London in four days cut the gap to leaders Manchester City, who have a game in hand, to four points. The Reds will host Brighton on Wednesday before welcoming the Citizens to Anfield on Sunday.
