    Swedish Covid-19 chief Anders Tegnell: judge me in a year

    In just a few short months Anders Tegnell, architect of Sweden’s unique response to the Covid-19 pandemic, has gone from unknown physician and technocrat to a household celebrity in Sweden and in countries around the world. He is beloved by some (people have even had tattoos made with his face) and intensely disliked by others. Today he is suntanned and relaxed, having just returned from his summer holiday, and wearing an open-necked polo shirt. Here is a summary of what he said:

    - In terms of migrants, travel and urban areas Sweden is more similar to the Netherlands and the UK than Norway or Finland
    - Lockdown may have made a difference, but closing schools and people being out of work is also bad for public health
    - Numbers of new infections arriving at the same time seems to make a big difference, so Stockholm half-term travellers to the Alps a big factor for Stockholm epidemic
    - Eradication is not an option, ‘we have to learn to live with this disease’
    - Evidence for masks still very weak, and they may yet be counterproductive. With all the trends going sharply down, it would make no sense to introduce them now
    - Additional immunity such as T cells playing a substantial role in slowing spread – ‘what we see right now is a rapid fall in the number of cases, and of course some kind of immunity has to be involved in that as nothing else has changed.’
    - Sweden will be better placed than other countries to limit further waves and outbreaks because of higher immunity
    - IFR of Covid-19 in final account will be 0.1% to 0.5% - “and that is not radically different to what we see with the yearly flu”
    - Judge me in a year, he says.

    They clearly recognize that there’s a vulnerable population.

    Absolutely. But the problem is that so many people have died in elder care, both in the facilities and in the home. That goes back to pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic spread. Swedish epidemiologists don’t believe that that drives the pandemic, and they do not advocate using face masks in elder care facilities unless people are working with somebody who is sick. But a lot of the people who were working in the elder care facilities came from areas of Stockholm where there was a lot of spread, like in the suburbs. People were saying, oh, they came to work sick. No, they didn’t come to work sick. They came pre-symptomatic. They had no symptoms. But since they were told not to wear face masks, they probably gave it to the elderly. And that’s how it spread
    .

    https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...-immunity.html

    But for the title--which the author of the article or interiview doesn't usually choose themselves, this is pretty evenhanded. It remains to be seen whether the Swedes did the right thing.

    In the google search bar, type in a 3 or 4 digit number followed by "new cases".

    See what you get.
    You're a genius!
    I typed in '524 new cases' and got 223 million results!
    The first two pages were all COVID-19 hits so probably many more pages.

    I'm surprised they didn't want to let me know about 524 new cases of headaches, or cancer, or autism or ???

    One thing I found is when you do it repeatedly but with different numbers, you will see your own province, or state, a number of times.

    It is they want you to beleive that it is bad in your immediate area.

    Thanks for this Iancorgi.

    I just added Thailand to my list of countries to track/graph going forward.


    We've got many bright minds here. Let's see if we can come up with explanations/theories for the following.



    We all know that the Covid-19 virus likes killing older folks much more than younger folks. But does it prefer infecting and killing Caucasians over Asians or Latinos?

    We see from the above that although the U.S. has a much greater population than Thailand, Egypt and Colombia, that is countered
    by the fact that those countries are much smaller in land size than the U.S. and so the density of people living in them is much greater than the U.S.

    Now intuitively one would think that with people living closer to each other they would be more susceptible to getting infected by COVID-19.

    But such is not the case!


    So what is your explanation for this 'strange' set of data?

    A much higher density of people (Thailand) yet just 58 deaths vs. 144,242 deaths for the U.S.?

    A much higher density of people (Egypt) yet just 4,480 deaths vs. 144,242 deaths for the U.S.?

    A higher density of people (Colombia) yet just 7,688 deaths vs. 144,242 deaths for the U.S.?







    So why does the virus seem to love Americans?
    Could it have something to do with the fact that the U.S. has more false positives with their test, for some strange reason?

    Or that the U.S. is now counting COVID contacts as being COVID-19 positive, whether or not they have even been tested? (Check out the new testing procedures for Texas).

    Or that the U.S. has a penchant for assigning deaths to COVID-19 above all other causes now?

    TOP EXPERT: MOST OF U.S. ALREADY HAS HERD IMMUNITY


    Epidemiologist & Biostatistician, Knut Wittkowski, PhD, is back on The HighWire confirming the inevitable: the United States is already reaching herd immunity, even with a lockdown.

    The problem here is that Wittkowski, by his own admission, isn't a virologist: he's an epidemiologist. Bigtree asked him about T-cell immunity, but he appeared to sidestep the question. It's almost as if he didn't understand it.

    Wittkowski is still talking about antibody immunity, even though the most recent research indicates that antibodies only last for a short time: 2-3 months at the most.

    That's a huge problem, suggesting that herd immunity might never be reachable — just as in the case with the common cold (another coronavirus). Wittkowski seemed entirely unconvincing, and might not be up to date with the virology research.

    It might be simply because Americans are far more adept at spreading it to others.*
    (The virus will love Americans for that!)
    * My pure guess: this had been well forecast and planned for since January. One might not need to be a world-class psychologist to have predicted that.
    We could also include these countries in the stats:
    • Vietnam: 413 cases, 0 deaths. (cases/1m pop: 4)

    My belief is that here in the US much of the data is being manipulated to give the appearance that the S-CV-2, aka Covid 19 disease, is more virulent and deadly. This is done as a pretext for draconian and anti-constitutional measures by Democrat controlled states. Yes, I do believe it is about the 2020 election and regaining and retaining power and control. We are at war, at least in the US.

    Perspectives on the Pandemic
    2.09K subscribers
    Perspectives on the Pandemic interviewed Dr. Judy Mikovits on April 16th, 2020, and again on May 15th.

    (I THINK THIS WILL CLEAR UP MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE MYSTERY.)

    ("Really, the vaccine program should have ended right then."
    "The entire pharmaceutical industry should have stopped in 2011."
    "It's propaganda masquerading as science."
    "There's nothing that makes sense in anything that's happening.")


    "In her second interview, she was joined by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

    We have divided the two conversations into three parts, the first two focusing on Dr. Mikovits, and the third on Mr. Kennedy.

    This is part one."

    But would you trust a virologist more than an epidemiologist when considering locking down the entire world?

    I would trust dr. Mikovits (see post 834 above) who Fauci had thrown in jail in order to silence her. She spells it all out quite clearly.

    Is Big Tech Planning A Massive Purge To Coincide With The COVID Vaccine Release?

    "As material from dystopian novels such as 1984 begin to become a reality, we are witnessing the accelerated rollout of an agenda. Leading towards a predetermined future, which has already been decided for us.

    In this interview Spiro is joined by Richie Allen, who is a journalist, a producer and the host of the Richie Allen Radio Show.

    In this interview, Richie Allen shares information regarding contacts which he has been in touch with, who currently work for google.

    According to the unnamed source or sources, Google, Facebook and Twitter are coordinating with each other to carry out a multi-platform purge of accounts that question vaccine safety.

    The potential coming purge is said to coincide with the rollout of the new, experimental COVID-19 vaccine.

    I would trust dr. Mikovits (see post 834 above) who Fauci had thrown in jail in order to silence her. She spells it all out quite clearly.

    top expert: Most of u.s. Already has herd immunity
    the problem here is that wittkowski, by his own admission, isn't a virologist: He's an epidemiologist.
    but would you trust a virologist more than an epidemiologist when considering locking down the entire world?
    Yes I agree onaway and its not just American Experts who are saying the same thing.

    Professor Dolores Cahill a foremost authority.

    Dr Andrew Wakefield had his career ruined for daring to question some results
    Its all the same story, Pharma will ruin anyone who tells the truth.

    1986 The Act: What The Government Don't Want You To Know About Mandatory Vaccines

    Creator Of 1986 The Act

    Dr. Andrew Wakefield MB.BS., is an academic gastroenterologist. He received his medical degree from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School, London in 1981.

    He qualified as Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1985 and trained as a gastrointestinal surgeon with a particular interest in inflammatory bowel disease.

    He was awarded a Wellcome Trust Traveling Fellowship to study small-intestinal transplantation in Toronto. He was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists in the U.K. in 2001. Wakefield has published over 140 original scientific papers, reviews, and book chapters.

    In 1995, as an academic physician working in a London teaching hospital, he was contacted by the parent of an autistic child with stomach issues.

    He soon learned from several other parents with autistic behaviors, that their children’s regressive behavior immediately followed an MMR vaccine.

    He started investigating a possible role between gastrointestinal issues, the MMR vaccine, and neurological injury in children. In pursuit of this possible link, Dr. Wakefield participated in a study of twelve children with both stomach and developmental issues. The ensuing report, written with twelve other authors would catapult Wakefield into becoming one of the most controversial figures in the history of Medicine.

    Devil's advocate:
    The virus is real and it is deadly.

    A response is not only warranted but necessary.

    The World Health Organization must be heeded because they are best positioned for a united global response, as is their mandate.

    Asymptomatic carriers are a danger to the population.

    Masks provide a measure of protection, to slow the rate of infection and keep hospitals from being overrun.

    Lock down also slows the rate of infection.

    Herd immunity will never be reached.

    Lock down must continue until an effective vaccine is introduced and administered to all the world's population.

    To achieve this goal, the careful management of the infected must continue and safeguards against further infection must be aggressively targeted.

    Financial interests and the future of the world economy are of secondary consideration.

    The cost of each death, directly related to the handling of the epidemic will be prohibitive but unavoidable, inevitably reaching tens of thousands of dollars per case and higher. (ssssh, don't say this out loud)
    not saying I am against each point, either, just that this seems to be the narrative out there
    Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water...Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. Bruce Lee

    Free will can only be as free as the mind that conceives it.

    • The virus is real and it is deadly. (Sometimes, it can be. It's a real thing. But in many countries, numbers have been massaged or falsified to increase the perceived danger.)
    • A response is not only warranted but necessary. (To a degree.)
    • The World Health Organization must be heeded because they are best positioned for a united global response, as is their mandate. (The WHO is criminally negligent and/or incompetent, and simply can't be trusted. They're best disregarded.)
    • Asymptomatic carriers are a danger to the population. ('Danger' is too strong, but yes, they can infect others.)
    • Masks provide a measure of protection, to slow the rate of infection and keep hospitals from being overrun. (This is correct, but that statement is independent of and separate from human rights and personal freedom issues.)

    • Lock down also slows the rate of infection. (As with masks, above.)
