Look, the whole thing is about how different countries weigh risk vs. resource. Denmark’s system is more about targeted intervention—like screening high-risk groups instead of blanket policies. It’s not that they don’t care, it’s that they’ve built a system where identifying at-risk kids through other means works better for them. The US has a different structure, more fragmented, so a universal approach might make more sense there. It’s not about the prevalence, it’s about how the healthcare system is set up to handle it.

Hmm, but if they're targeting high-risk groups, why isn't that working as well as a universal dose? It feels like a band-aid solution.

Sure but if their system is so good at targeting, why does the US still have higher rates? It's not just about resources—it's about how effective the approach is.

Sure but if their system is so good at targeting, why does the US still have higher rates? It's not like the US is doing anything differently in terms of resources.

Sure, but if their system is so good at targeting, why do they still have outbreaks in newborns? It doesn't add up.

Sure, but if their system is so good at targeting, why do they still have outbreaks in newborns? It's not like they're missing the high-risk groups entirely.
