Holten-MÃ¸ller was in charge of producing the models before Christmas that informed Danish policy, and her groupâ€™s updated advice in January led to the cancellation of all Danish Covid restrictions (even as case numbers continue to climb to all-time highs). She joins UnHerd to discuss Denmark's radical new policy, data modelling and why Omicron might be the end of the pandemic.
