During 2020, however, Sweden had ten times higher COVID-19 death rates compared with neighbouring Norway
In 2014, the Public Health Agency merged with the Institute for Infectious Disease Control; the first decision by its new head (Johan Carlson) was to dismiss and move the authority’s six professors to Karolinska Institute. With this setup, the authority lacked expertise and could **disregard scientific facts. **
The Swedish pandemic strategy seemed targeted towards “natural” herd-immunity and avoiding a societal shutdown. The Public Health Agency labelled advice from national scientists and international authorities as extreme positions, resulting in media and political bodies to accept their own policy instead. The Swedish people were kept in ignorance of basic facts such as the airborne SARS-CoV-2 transmission, that asymptomatic individuals can be contagious and that face masks protect both the carrier and others.
Appropriate (potentially life-saving) treatment was withheld without medical examination, and without informing the patient or his/her family or asking permission.
Literal social fascism, killing off the old and vulnerable by purposely misleading the population, and witholding medical care.
Britain did this too but also went further by deliberately infecting the carehomes by moving covid patients from hospitals into them and then placing DNR (do not resuscitate) orders on them.
Governments committed genocide of the elderly in broad daylight and huge swathes of people just didn’t notice at all.
Almost all western governments did this to some degree, but the sheer magnitude and death rate of the Swedish crime against humanity is staggering. Even though they had all the resources to prevent it. Look at their neighbours having death rates 10 times lower, even though they themselves did a very poor job of containing COVID.
Though the UK unfortunately is stuff competition in that regard, especially the COVID 19 hospitals and care home policies.
