He does this in the online newspaper POV International wrote how the group «Digital Civil Disobedience» encouraged people to book vaccine and test classes, so as not to show up. The group has over 1,500 members.

Asks for common struggle

The current Facebook group writes that it calls for a common struggle to reopen society.

Group founder Kenneth Højmark Bæk confirms to Danish TV2 that members have booked time and deliberately did not show up.

– I made this group because I have a child. She should not be left to a future where you have to be forcibly vaccinated twice a year, says Højmark Bæk.

Will take hold

It is not mandatory to take the vaccine in Denmark, so it is not in Norway either, but the group founder says that the population is pushing to take the vaccine.

Heunicke writes that the efforts with vaccination and testing have contributed to Denmark having fewer deaths in the pandemic compared with other countries.

– Few people’s selfishness and conspiracy theories should not be allowed to destroy our Danish efforts, which have taken us so far in this difficult time, writes Heunicke.

To POV, Heunicke says that if necessary, the government will take action against such groups.

He does not specify what kind of grip governments can take on such groups.
