Sweden, with No Lockdown or Masks, Claims COVID-19 Victory
As the rest of Europe and the world remains under the grip of draconian rules and the threat of new lockdowns, Sweden, which allowed its citizens to remain free throughout the entire pandemic, has pretty much declared victory over the coronavirus.
The country now has one of the lowest infection rates on the planet, and it’s difficult not to admire how it has handled the past year, with no strict lockdown or compulsory face mask rules. All businesses, schools and public places remained open in Sweden for the duration.
“Sweden has gone from being the country with the most infections in Europe to the safest one,” Sweden’s senior epidemiologist Dr. Anders Tegnell commented to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.
“What we see now is that the sustainable policy might be slower in getting results, but it will get results eventually,” Tegnell clarified. “And then we also hope that the result will be more stable,” he added.
Tegnell previously warned that encouraging people to wear face masks is “very dangerous” because it gives a false sense of security but does not effectively stem the spread of the virus.
“The findings that have been produced through face masks are astonishingly weak, even though so many people around the world wear them,” Tengell has urged.
Last week, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control confirmed Sweden’s drop in infection rate, with only 12 cases per million, compared to 18 in neighbouring Denmark and 14 in nearby Norway.

At the peak of the Sweden’s outbreak, it was seeing 108 new infections per million people, as it pursued a “herd immunity” strategy.
The figures also show that out of 2500 randomly selected and tested people in Sweden, none tested positive, compared to 0.9 percent positive in April, and 0.3 percent in May.
“We interpret this as meaning there is not currently a widespread infection among people who do not have symptoms,” said Karin Tegmark, deputy head of the Public Health Agency of Sweden.
When compared to the rest of Europe, Sweden’s death rate sits somewhere in the middle. However, officials are confident that playing the long game will see this improve drastically.

All fine. But the lock-downs were aimed at preventing both deaths and the nasty after-effects of having had the virus.
Sweden – Death rate about 9%, the rest of the world about 3%.

What do you mean by ‘death rate’?
9% of what compared with 3% of what?
What are the ‘nasty after-effects’?

Hi Finn,
In UK: 11.8% of “cases” died, in Swe & Can: 6.8% and in the World: 3.2% died…
That’s the closest to those numbers I could come up with…
Unfortunately these don’t imply anything about the state of desired Herd Immunity.
Cheers, JaKo

Hi John,
I beg to differ: The lock-downs were imposed TO FLATTEN THE CURVE! We were told: “Just a few weeks.” And here we are, 25 weeks later, e.g. Canada is rolling back/pauses the “loosening,” due to the “spike” of new cases (a few hundred a day in a nation of 38M) with no corresponding spikes in mortality! How could we achieve this panacea of Herd Immunity, when “no new cases” are “permitted?” I’m really tired of this!. The official narratives are whether products of imbeciles with no short/medium term memory, or there is a hidden agenda they must follow, even if that makes them look like the former…
About your Death Rates John: Sooner or later the results will equalize. Sweden confidently chose the “rather sooner” strategy, that’s all.

and of course the average age of deaths in Sweden was 86 compared to 80 in the rest of Europe. With three quarters of the deaths in old people’s homes so effectively in lockdown anyway.

There is a missing factor here to be considered. Sweden’s number of deaths per million may be higher when you compare JUST people that died “with” COVID. The other factor, those that suicided or died from other causes related to being shut out of medical care are ALSO deaths that must be added to the lock down deaths. These deaths would not have happened had not it been for the fear mongering and paranoia caused by the “Main Scream Media” and those enforcing quarantine and face masks. When you add in the number of deaths the “policy” caused, and by rights you should, Sweden will end up at the lower end of the list since there will be no policy caused deaths to add. We all know that there will be, in the end, more deaths caused by the policies enforced than by COVID-19, whatever that is.

“The figures also show that out of 2500 randomly selected and tested people in Sweden, none tested positive, compared to 0.9 percent positive in April, and 0.3 percent in May.”
That will happen when the PCR ‘non-test’ amplification count is lowered from 35X to under 30X. When amplification is notched up to 60x, the positivity rate is 100%, clueing us in to the (1) COVID-19 fraud; and (2) PCR ‘non-test’ fraud.
Since a pathogen called COVID-19 has never been purified – identified – by blood culture(!) there is no COVID-19, obviously, thereby outing the Marxist co-opted establishment’s (1) destruction of the economy; and (2) weakening of our immune systems by (a) wearing masks that blow back into the respiratory system exhaled bacteria, viruses, and fungi; (b) the ludicrous directive to stay home that inhibits our exposure to germs that strengthen the immune system; and (3) the manic cleansing of surfaces of germs, such germs a requirement for a robust immune system.
“We have also contacted Dr Charles Calisher, who is a seasoned virologist. In 2001, Science published an “impassioned plea…to the younger generation” from several veteran virologists, among them Calisher, saying that:
[modern virus detection methods like] sleek polymerase chain reaction […] tell little or nothing about how a virus multiplies, which animals carry it, [or] how it makes people sick. [It is] like trying to say whether somebody has bad breath by looking at his fingerprint.”
And that’s why we asked Dr Calisher whether he knows one single paper in which SARS-CoV-2 has been isolated and finally really purified. His answer:
I know of no such a publication. I have kept an eye out for one.
This actually means that one cannot conclude that the RNA gene sequences, which the scientists took from the tissue samples prepared in the mentioned in vitro trials and for which the PCR tests are finally being “calibrated,” belong to a specific virus — in this case SARS-CoV-2.”

Which is why there are no electron microscope pictures of the fake COVID-19 virus(!)…

At my blog, read the articles…
‘House of Cards: The Collapse of the ‘Collapse’ of the USSR’
‘Playing Hide And Seek In Yugoslavia’
Then read the article, ‘The Marxist Co-Option Of History And The Use Of The Scissors Strategy To Manipulate History Towards The Goal Of Marxist Liberation’
Solution
The West will form new political parties where candidates are vetted for Marxist ideology/blackmail, the use of the polygraph to be an important tool for such vetting. Then the West can finally liberate the globe of vanguard Communism.
