Sweden avoiding lockdown

This idea that Tegnell and Co. didn`t want to use lockdown because it would impinge on the freedoms of choice of the population is just another load of cobblers attempting to rewrite history hoping to distract that Sweden`s initial 2020 strategy was to do with anything other than acquiring herd immunity.

Their was no freedom of choice for parents to keep children infected with the virus home from school. By doing so parents were liable to prosecution and the possibility of their children being removed from their care by child services. The cynicism behind this was exposed by the emails acquired under freedom of information between Tegnell and his Finnish counterpart Mika Salminen.

Tegnell commented "One point would be to keep schools open to reach herd immunity faster" Salminen replied that Finland had considered this but rejected it because "over time, the children are still going to spread the infection" and that their modelling suggested that closing schools would reduce the spread of the virus among the elderly by about 10%. Tegnell`s reply " 10% might be worth it" and kept the schools open, insisting on full attendance under threat of prosecution and children taken into care for non-compliance.

Freedom of choice was never a consideration so no point at this stage in attempting to dress it up as such. It was nothing other than a reckless experiment lead by Giesecke, (who was not even a state official when it was cobbled together), and "his boys" Tegnell and Carlson of the FHM that caused needless deaths, and would have caused even more had the local authorities not put a stop to it in October 2020 when a second wave was sweeping through Sweden and Tegnell intended dropping care home restrictions, increasing the numbers allowed to meet in public and telling the vulnerable it was safe to again mingle in general society.

The simple unavoidable truths that you are attempting to run away from is that of the four Nordic nations, the three that border Sweden did not go chasing herd immunity, and while Sweden was doing so in 2020 it had multiple deaths compared to the other three. Sweden`s own health authority accept that those multiple deaths were due to nothing other than Covid.

I believe I have been very patient answering your posts and providing you with unbiased verifiable data and reports even though you have repeatedly ignored them. So one simple question for you.

For four countries that border each other with so much in common, historically, geographically, even in language, that have virtually the same percentage of their population in the age category most at risk from the virus, then other than one of them chasing herd immunity what other reason do you see for the multiples of Covid deaths in Sweden during that period compared to the other three ?

Your nonsense on others being biased and having no objectivity is laughable. You have been provided with verifiable statistics, data and reports, (all of which you have ignored as they do not suit your narrative), and you have nothing to back up any of your theories other than some vague ideas rattling around in your own head.

By refusing to answer the question you have admitted that you have nothing to explain why Sweden who chased herd immunity during 2020 had 10,003 Covid deaths, while Norway had 440, Finland 556, and Denmark 1,269. Adjusted for population size Sweden in 2020 when chasing herd immunity had X12 times the deaths of Norway, X9.6 times those of Finland and X4.5 times those of Denmark.

Unless you can find four neighbouring countries that have as much in common as the Nordic states, where one chased herd immunity and the other three did not, that counters those statistics then all you are doing here is wasting peoples time. If you want to keep on wasting your own time looking around the world for those statistics that`s up to you because they do not exists. Nowhere else was callous or stupid enough to follow Sweden`s strategy for any length of time before seeing how inane it was and doing an about turn.
