I for one feel it's progress that the headline is merely a half truth, not the full lie. I mean - not a lot of progress, but still.
It's amazing. Do they think we aren't going to read it?
OP is obviously anti-vax/Right/Republican and he posts an article that not only supports getting the vax but it also subtly implies a mandate might not be a bad idea.
Oh, and it tacitly supports the paradigm that the government has the right to shut things down.

Anti-vax? No, absolutely not. Right/Republican? Yes, guilty on all charges!
I support people's choice whether or not to receive this vaccine. I do not support people being forced to take it. I'm a little surprised you, of all the posters on this forum, would misuse the definition of anti-vax, which implies someone is against all vaccinations.
I'm not sure whether the article "subtly" implies anything about mandates, as I'll admit I only skimmed through it. If the article does not explicitly imply that mandates are a good thing, then anything you construe is subjective.
You're looking at an experiment with n=6,000,000 or so Danes, so - we may have passed the "theory" threshold. Danes isolated, contact-traced, took the shot as soon as they could and the results are in.
The difference between the Danish Government and the US Federal Government - the former has earned the people's trust, the latter proved itself unworthy of the people's trust over and over and over again and is doing that as we speak.
No way I would ever consent to any kind of contact tracing if the government has anything to do with it. I don't want the Federal Government having even more information on me.

Bro, you should have read the article. You walked right into a trap by Team Blue by saying cases are down 60% after daddy lifted all restrictions. The reason why daddy lifted all restrictions is because they achieved very high vax rates which daddy said would happen. Eat your veggies and you can have dessert.
Government, in its infinite wisdom, had benchmarks for vax rates and the peasants complied. Then they lifted the restrictions and you tell the world cases are down 60%.
That's not subtle. That's outright telling everyone to get vaxxed, the government has the right to put restrictions in place, and government has magical powers that know what %'s are necessary for us peons to have our rights.
It's just frustrating. Has been since the beginning when Lysol Man went off the rails which proved to be his Waterloo. Ya'll should have made this a property rights issue. It was the perfect opportunity to give businesses the right to decide about masks and later vaxxes. It was also the perfect time to end government schools. But no, the Orange Menace went nuts late last summer clamoring for schools to open.
What a disappointment and embarrassment. Team Red has made Team Blue look relatively sane since March of 2020 and that's saying something considering that crowd believes in 674884 genders and riots any time a white guy looks in the general direction of a minority.

And I'd probably trust it more (or distrust it less more like) than the American government..... I fully expect Potato Karen to move the goalposts if ever we get to some arbitrary vaccination rate that Fraudci wants.

It seems the Danish Government has come to their senses. COVID is going nowhere, so they've gotten back to normal. Why can't we do this?
We probably could if we reached similar vaccination rates as Denmark.
“More than 80% of people above the age of 12 have had the two shots.
…
The tipping point in Denmark to start easing restrictions came when a majority in the age group of 50+ had the two shots, Riis Paludan said.
…
However, the face mask or shield are still mandatory at airports and people are advised to wear one when at the doctor's, test centers or hospitals. Distancing is still recommended and strict entry restrictions still apply for non Danes at the borders. The outbreak is still considered "an ordinary dangerous illness."
"The ghost of corona sits in the back of our head," said Frank Oestergaard, a patron in a downtown Copenhagen restaurant.“
