Denmark has a vaccination rate of 81%
The US has a vaccination rate of 65%
That doesn't seem so different. But of course it is the unvaccinated rate that counts. 9% in Denmark. 35% in the US. So almost 4x higher in the US.
Denmark has had 667 deaths per million, the US has had 2711.
So Denmark has a good case for dropping restrictions.
(And of course people will reverse the causality on this and claim that "hey Denmark opened, and has much lower fatality rate...")

Maybe because the causality is not so clear:
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-vaccinations-vs-cov...
That's not an attitude, but a conclusion that is based on what we know about the virus and the vaccines.
Smallpox, polio and measles can practically be eradicated with vaccines, while SARS-CoV-2 cannot, at least not with the existing vaccines. It is also important to look at the fatality rates and other risk factors. Denmark has decided that SARS-CoV-2 is not a threat for the society anymore and lifted all mandates. Not because they don't value life, but because they value life.
