Mask-free Sweden is close to ZERO daily Covid deaths
Mask-free Sweden is approaching zero Covid deaths per day while the country’s chief epidemiologist has swatted away fears over the Delta variant’s infectiousness.
In the last two weeks, Sweden has recorded an average of 0.6 Covid deaths per day, this compares with 74 fatalities in the UK and 329 deaths in US per day over the same period.
Although it has the highest per capita death toll of its Scandinavian neighbours, Sweden has kept its economy afloat throughout the pandemic with its reluctance to enforce tough social distancing rules or lockdowns.
At the beginning of July it dropped its last remaining mask mandate – for public transport – while health chiefs in the US and the UK are arguing that face coverings must still to be worn to stop the spread of the rampant Delta (Indian) variant.
The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Friday warned the Delta variant was as infectious as chickenpox – but Anders Tegnell, the architect of Sweden’s Covid strategy, cautioned against such sweeping analogies.
The epidemiologist said there is still ‘a lot we do not know’ about the Delta strain and that it was wrong to draw any ‘far-reaching conclusions.’
Speaking to the Aftonbladet newspaper, Tegnell said that the Delta variant was the dominant strain in Sweden and had been circulating for ‘for quite some time.’
He told the paper: ‘It is difficult to say how contagious Delta is, [as] when it comes to chickenpox, we have been able to follow the disease for several years.
‘The infectiousness [of Delta] seems to be very uneven – in some cases, one person infects a hundred people, then we have other occasions when an infected person does not infect anyone at all.’
He said that the spread of the Delta variant was highest among young people who are not adhering to social distancing guidelines as much as older citizens.
But despite zero infections being recorded in many municipalities, Tegnell by no means believes the pandemic is over.
‘There is a need for preparedness and attention everywhere. One should not draw any conclusions from the fact that no sick people have been found in a municipality this week. It can lead to serious consequences if you drop your guard,’ he said.
On Monday, Tegnell announced plans for booster vaccine doses for the most vulnerable citizens from the start of September.
‘The assessment is that it is not possible to eradicate the virus and therefore vaccination work should be long-term and focused on reducing serious illness and death,’ the health chief said.
Sweden’s department of health said it expected the entire adult population will have received two jabs by autumn, and that there will be a good supply of vaccine over the coming years.
The authority did not give an exact figure for how many people would get a third jab next year, but said that a large part of the population would be offered another jab.
This follows similar declarations in Britain, Germany and Israel.
Boris Johnson wants boosters to be offered to 32 million Britons from next month, The Telegraph reported on Monday.
Over 50s and immunosuppressed people, along with NHS and care home staff will be offered third doses from as soon as September 6.
The vaccines will be administered at up to 2,000 pharmacies, with the goal of 2.5m per week. And they will be dished out at the same time as flu jabs, ministers hope.
No10 is aiming to get the most vulnerable groups jabbed by mid-December, so the vaccine has at least fortnight to kick in before Christmas, the paper reported.
All eligible adults are expected to get a dose of Pfizer, regardless of which vaccine they received for their first two injections.
Latest data from Public Health England suggests the Pfizer injection is slightly more effective against the Indian ‘Delta’ stain, which could encourage the Government to adopt the mix-and-match strategy.
But Department of Health bosses have yet to confirm any official details of the UK’s booster scheme, with ministers waiting on final advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).

They probably haven’t had a “covid” death in months. I don’t think anyone really knows just what a “covid” death looks like. Apparently every symptom associated with the good old flu fits the bill.

Again, I must ask, please show me the virus?

Hello there, especially you, VOWG,
I always held Dr. Tegnell in an almost “super-hero” category (“The only superhero who doesn’t wear a mask.”) But now I guess I got why he was permitted to get away with these — he will ensure most Swedes will get the jab and booster-jabs at will of the puppet masters without any of the other crowd-control-motions. Swedes are disciplined (read: easily controlled) people. So, they got an obvious exception…
Sorry Sweden, “det är livet i den nya normalen,” (ghougle translation)

It is becoming clear to me that ALL nations are part of this global conspiracy, but Sweden has obviously been given instruction to implement a light touch while Australia, a heavy one. This is not just an experiment on the vaccines, it is also an experiment on the control measures to see what is most effective (if you believe in the virus), and how the populations react to the differing strategies imposed (if you don’t believe in the virus).

Hi JaKo, Ken, and PSI Readers,
Jako and Ken’s comments should be pondered. “Stupidity, Fear, Greed” (Einstein). Until I read it here, I had not not discovered his quote.
No one can claim they do not know the difference between GOOD AND EVIL!!! Greedy people are not stupid but what they do is EVIL as they take advantage of the stupidity and fear of TOO, TOO, MANY PEOPLE who chose to TRUST what they are told by other HUMANS instead of TRUSTING the CREATOR GOD who CREATED LIFE in the BEGINNING!!!
Have a good day, Jerry
