Sweden verses the World in Covid Response - And they're right!! - Video

Perhaps uncommon knowledge, but Sweden didn't do enforced shutdowns, and interestingly, their death rate wasn't any worse than those countries that did hard shutdowns. Here I present 2 interviews with Dr. Johan Giesecke, who is Sweden's equivalent to the American's Dr. Fauci or the Canadian's Dr. Tam. The interviewer is an idiot that pushes (occationally) for sound bites to discredit him (in the 2nd video). But the facts stand for themselves, without lockdown, Sweden had a comparable deathrate as countries with harsh lockdowns. You hearing this Tam?! And Sweden did not decimate their middle class to do it. 

I present the videos in succession, the second one occuring a year after the first. Enjoy!

Professor Johan Giesecke, one of the world’s most senior epidemiologists, advisor to the Swedish Government (he hired Anders Tegnell who is currently directing Swedish strategy), the first Chief Scientist of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, and an advisor to the director general of the WHO, lays out with typically Swedish bluntness why he thinks: - UK policy on lockdown and other European countries are not evidence-based - The correct policy is to protect the old and the frail only - This will eventually lead to herd immunity as a “by-product” - The initial UK response, before the “180 degree U-turn”, was better - The Imperial College paper was “not very good” and he has never seen an unpublished paper have so much policy impact - The paper was very much too pessimistic - Any such models are a dubious basis for public policy anyway - The flattening of the curve is due to the most vulnerable dying first as much as the lockdown - The results will eventually be similar for all countries - Covid-19 is a “mild disease” and similar to the flu, and it was the novelty of the disease that scared people. - The actual fatality rate of Covid-19 is the region of 0.1% - At least 50% of the population of both the UK and Sweden will be shown to have already had the disease when mass antibody testing becomes available

One year ago, an interview with Professor Johan Giesecke of Sweden began to go viral on YouTube. It was early in the pandemic, and he was the most senior voice (as a former state epidemiologist of Sweden, Chief Scientist at the European Centre of Disease Control and advisor to the Director General of the WHO) to come out forcefully against lockdowns. He promised to come back in a year to review the evidence — and with typical Swedish punctuality, here he is. What he got wrong, what he got right, and much besides. Don't miss.
