„It’s Like Using A Hammer To Kill A Fly“ – Architect Of Sweden’s COVID-19 Anti-Lockdown Strategy Finally Vindicated
by Tyler Durden09/12/2020
When the history books are written about 2020 and the great coronavirus pandemic, Anders Tegnell, the humble Swedish state epidemiologist and architect of the global-consensus-defying ‚Sweden strategy‘, will inevitably loom large throughout the text. But whether he is portrayed as a hero or villain may – like so many things in this highly polarized era – ultimately depend on who’s writing the piece.
As the FT explained in its latest in a series of interviews with Tegnell, the American press – thanks in large part to its newfound fanatical devotion to the cause of „science“ – including the NYT, has been particularly hard on Tegnell. The Gray Ladyhas called Sweden a „pariah state“ and „the world’s cautionary tale.“
European papers have been somewhat more forgiving. That’s perhaps because the lockdowns imposed across Europe were far more restrictive than what most, outside NYC, experienced in the US. And despite all that work, new daily cases are back to seeing record highs in France, and post-lockdown highs in Spain, while cases climb in Italy, the UK, Germany and across Central Europe into Ukraine.

Johan Giesecke says that this conversation (about criticisms of the Swedish model) should happen one year from now. Other countries are merely dodging the virus. Please see: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/09/epidemiologist-coronavirus-could-be-exterminated-if-lockdowns-lifted/
They can’t escape it for ever. Johan Giesecke has three criticisms of Western scientists:
- they are not taking an evidence-based approach
- Neil Ferguson’s model is terrible + not even peer reviewed
- mortality from the virus is much, much lower than 2%
