32 people died in Norway after getting coronavirus vaccination.
Norway's Public Health Authority has declared no link set between the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and the deaths of older people who had been vaccinated. In a report, they also recommended a medical evaluation before injecting the elderly and very weak. Since the start of the vaccination campaign in late December, the Scandinavian country has recorded 33 deaths of older people who received the first dose, according to the authorities' latest tally. Among the 13 cases examined more closely so far, "these are all people who were very old, frail and had serious illnesses," said the director of the Norwegian public health professional, Camilla Stoltenberg. "Regarding the cause of death, there was no analysis," she also said. "The most important thing is to learn that there are 45 people who die every day in medical facilities in Norway. So it is not confirmed that there is excess mortality or that it is related to vaccines."   However, in recent days, Norway has repeated its recommendation for a medical evaluation before the vaccine is administered to a very fragile or dying person, as is now the case in other countries. "It is not impossible that any of those who are offered vaccination are so fragile...that it is not worth the trouble to vaccinate them because they can potentially see their disease deteriorate because of the effects normal developed," Stoltenberg said on Monday. Norway has been receiving a lot of criticism from across the world as several people lost their lives due to the coronavirus vaccine.  Two people have also died in India due to their "own-made" vaccine. There are also speculations that over 580 people showed a severe allergic reaction to the vaccination in the world's second most populated country.  However, the health authorities in India also claim that the deaths were not due to coronavirus vaccination.
