October 16, 2025, 08:02 PM EDT  On TV2 News, Professor Allan Randrup Thomsen from the University of Copenhagen delivered a striking admission: Covid-19 vaccine-injured patients have been “lost on the floor,” and he expressed deep shame over society’s treatment of them. This follows the newly released VIVE report from Denmark’s independent analysis center, which starkly concludes that vaccine-injured individuals have been failed by the system. While this recognition highlights a dire situation for React19’s 36,000+ members, it raises urgent questions about care and solutions. 

The Interview: A Professor’s Regret and a System’s Failure

Lindemand: According to Allan Randrup Thomsen, a significant group in Danish society is left isolated with their experiences of vaccine side effects. Allan, you’ve expressed some shame regarding society’s treatment of this patient group. What prompts this feeling?

Allan Randrup Thomsen: Yes, I do feel ashamed, and it stems from reflecting on the COVID-19 pandemic. Back then, health authorities encouraged vaccination not just for individual protection but to achieve herd immunity for the benefit of society. Many people got vaccinated, even if they didn’t personally need to, out of a sense of communal responsibility. One could argue that those who suffered side effects made a sacrifice for the greater good. It’s unjust that they are now left to navigate the healthcare system alone, feeling neglected and overlooked.

Lindemand: So, is the issue that they are being ignored by the Danish healthcare system?

Thomsen: Precisely. There is no comprehensive investigation or treatment program tailored for them. While it’s understandable to some extent—given that this is a new syndrome and we’re still learning how to address it—there isn’t even a structured initiative in place. These patients are referred to various specialists who often lack specific expertise in vaccine-related side effects. As a result, they find themselves stalled within the system and feel disrespected.

Lindemand: Side effects are common with all vaccines. Are there unique side effects with COVID vaccines, or is the focus more intense because nearly everyone has been vaccinated?

Thomsen: That’s an excellent question. Officially, we don’t have definitive evidence, but a logical explanation is that side effects occur with all vaccines. However, when nearly the entire global population is vaccinated simultaneously, even a small percentage of individuals experiencing side effects translates into a significant number of cases. This makes the issue more visible.

Lindemand: So, is society truly failing this group, leaving them abandoned, or are we now starting to listen, as evidenced by this discussion?

Thomsen: I’d say it’s a bit of both. Initially, we did lose track of them, which was somewhat inevitable at the start when COVID cases overwhelmed hospitals, and resources were focused on those patients, leaving little room for these rarer cases. But since then, we’ve failed to follow up adequately. That’s the critical shortfall. These patients need to feel that their concerns are taken seriously, yet they’re often made to feel dismissed or told their issues aren’t legitimate—which we must acknowledge is untrue.

Lindemand: Thank you.

Thomsen: You’re welcome.

The VIVE report’s acknowledgment, provides a basis for pushing legal and medical reforms, urging React19 followers to share stories at to drive change. Our Danish allies, including patient advocacy groups, seek a national treatment program, a model React19 advocates globally. 

As Professor Thomsen concluded,

“We have to agree that these patients deserve respect."
