Denmark shows no risk to nursing homes residents in 2020 vs 2018 & 2019 but increased all-cause mortality in 2021.
Denmark is one of the few countries to do thorough analysis of what happened in long term care homes, comparing all cause mortality pre and post pandemic, and pre and post vaccination

Here is the title, published online April 2023 in the peer reviewed journal
"All cause mortality among Danish nursing home residents before and during the COVID 19 pandemic: a nationwide cohort study"
Average death rate for 2018 and 2019: 37,612 per 100,000
Average death rate for 2020 (pandemic, pre vax): 37,475 per 100,000
Average death rate for 2021 (pandemic post vax): 38,536 per 100,000
Note the death rate in Denmark in this frail cohort increased by roughly 1 per 100 post vaccination, virtually the same as the 1 per 100 increase in all-cause mortality in BC LTC homes in 2021 and 2022 over 2020 (see my earlier posts for BC data)
Norway just released their study in August 2024 of all-cause mortality in nursing homes but refused to show all-cause mortality in the key period of late 2021 and 2022 after the booster. They did show no increase in all-cause mortality increase in 2020 but said that is because
"This suggests that early implementation of nationwide and nursing home-specific infection control measures during the pandemic effectively protected nursing home residents"
Title of study: "All-cause mortality and hospital admissions for nursing home residents during the COVID-19 pandemic: a Norwegian register-based cohort study"
What a joke, release a study in August 2024 and don't show mortality to end of 2023 or even for all of 2022. Then state our control measures worked. My response would be if the pandemic was that easy to control then why inject them with an experimental protocol and continue to keep them isolated by banning visitors etc. We need to see all their data.
