Until Friday, the vaccine produced by Pfizer and BioNTech SE was the only one available in Norway, and “all deaths are thus linked to this vaccine,” the Norwegian Medicines Agency said in a written response to Bloomberg on Saturday.
“There are 13 deaths that have been assessed, and we are aware of another 16 deaths that are currently being assessed,” the agency said. All the reported deaths related to “elderly people with serious basic disorders,” it said. “Most people have experienced the expected side effects of the vaccine, such as nausea and vomiting, fever, local reactions at the injection site, and worsening of their underlying condition.”
Australia’s Concern
Australia, which has an agreement for 10 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine, is seeking urgent information on the issue from the producer, health authorities and Norway’s government, Health Minister Greg Hunt told reporters in Melbourne on Sunday.
Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration will seek “additional information, both from the company, but also from the Norwegian medical regulator,” Hunt said. Australia’s foreign ministry will also contact its counterpart in Norway on the issue.

I feel like nobody actually knows what's going on and we won't know for a long time my aunt is very old and getting the vaccine so it's concerning but I hope all our elders survive. We need more younger people to help build up herd immunity
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health judges that “for those with the most severe frailty, even relatively mild vaccine side effects can have serious consequences. For those who have a very short remaining life span anyway, the benefit of the vaccine may be marginal or irrelevant.”
Everyone should still get the vaccine bruh.

god damn what a f***ing mess
rushed vaccines.... i thought everyone said they were perfectly a ok.....
this has nothing to do with the vaccine as much as it has to do with age if we real.
The same way the flu/covid is more likely to be more severe the older you get, I'd assume the same with vaccines. You and I don't gotta worry about this.
Oh no a handful of old people dying maybe partly from a vaccine that will save tens of millions

I'm guessing you're one of those bigger picture guys, remember that these people have families you don't have to be so heartless dude. This could happen to any of our relatives
rushed vaccines.... i thought everyone said they were perfectly a ok.....
na covid vaccine has been researched before covid 19 all they had to do was develop one for the new strain
and they had a huge amount of money to spend on research and development
didn’t they say that really old people who are frail or something shouldn’t get the vaccine though
or am I misremembering on some Mandela effect s***
