Why did Sweden vaccinate?

I asked this question on 22 December 2020, i.e.

Dr Tegnell, how do you justify fast-tracked coronavirus vaccination in Sweden, based on mortality figures for COVID-19?

According to Statista[5], as of 17 December 2020, 7,893 deaths have been attributed to COVID-19 over the past nearly 10 months. 5,465 of these deaths were in people aged over 80 years, including 2,150 over 90 years. 1,654 deaths were in the 70-79 year age group, making a total 7,119 deaths in people aged over 70 years. 494 deaths in the age group 60- 69 years. 185 deaths in the age group 50-59 years. And 95 deaths in the age group 0-49 years.

This is in a population of around 10.4 million[6], with expected annual deaths of around 90 odd thousand[7]. Deaths attributed to COVID-19, mainly in elderly people with comorbidities, have to be seen in this context.

According to EUROMOMO, Sweden currently has 'low excess deaths'[8], and the number of deaths in Sweden reported by Statista as of 11 December 2020 (89,491)[7] does not look on track to excessively exceed the numbers of other years. Even if it does eventuate there are a few thousand extra deaths due to this coronavirus, does this justify actions that will impact on the entire population for years to come, i.e. the implementation of annual, and possibly even more frequent, coronavirus vaccination?

Dr Tegnell, given most of the deaths attributed to COVID-19 in Sweden are in people aged over 70 years, is it appropriate and ethical to implement experimental, fast-tracked vaccine products for the Swedish population?

Amazing. I wrote an almost identical email in early 2021. I got a reply more than a year later, nothing more than a hand wave and denial.

It’s diabolical…

Who ARE these ‘doctors’ and ‘professors’ to be demanding people submit to vaccination against a disease it was known from the beginning wasn’t a serious threat to most people?

This is the most appalling situation, as literally billions of people around the world have been tricked into these medical interventions, without valid consent.

In this regard, see my formal complaint about the Chief Medical Officer in Australia, Paul Kelly, who violated voluntary informed consent by capitulating to then prime minister Scott Morrison’s and National Cabinet’s demand that aged care workers be subject to mandatory vaccination to maintain their livelihood.

This violation of voluntary informed consent for one group set the precedent, and a cascade of vaccination mandates followed, impacting on millions of people in Australia.

Yes, real experts like John Iaonnidis at Stanford predicted from the outset that the survival rate from SC-2 would be in the order of 99.7% overall and 99.95% for the cohort below age 70. This turned out to be accurate although Dr Iaonnidid was, of course, "cancelled" abused and censored.

The issue from the outset was the Risk/Benefit analysis, which was never done. That became even more egregious when it came to recommendation to vaccinate pregat women and young adults, children and babies..

This was a shocking assault on humanity and we truly need to keep pursuing it until we get answers and, hopefully, accountability.

And then he pushed the jabs…

As for epidemiologists, and the rest of the parasites who hang around in universities exerting control over our lives, I very much want to see the back of them.

This entire thing was a beat-up, a pandemic of testing to implement what they really wanted, which was digital ID, a social credit system, and people being lined up to be exploited with medical interventions on demand of puppet governments.

Elizabeth - I have just had a look at the PDF of your email about Australian Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly’s violation of the Nuremberg principle of ‘informed consent’ – well done! I hope that one day he and the other key players in Australia who had a hand in mandating the experimental mRNA genetic injectables end up serving substantial prison terms for what they have done.

Morrison was an accidental ‘default’ prime minister who was clearly unsuited for such a national leadership position. He repeatedly showed wretchedly poor political judgement. His term as PM was marked by political and managerial incompetence and this was especially so with regard to the response to Covid - a response that has ended up destroying the health of so many Australians who were lied to and dragooned into accepting the inadequately tested mRNA injectables as a ‘magic elixir’ – falsely asserted to be ‘Safe & Effective’. One of my best friends – a former colleague – mysteriously died of heart failure a couple of weeks after getting ‘jabbed’. He did not have a history of cardiac disease.

One characteristic of Scott Morrison that quickly became clear to his Labor opponents was his proclivity for shallow knee-jerk decision-making, combined with a fixation on following every twist and turn of the opinion polls and focus groups. Because of this he became the unwitting puppet of the Labor Opposition, who took on the role of puppet masters. They were able to play him politically like a fiddle. Because Morrison’s understanding of even very basic science was zero, he thus became susceptible to the deeply flawed advice of an equally ignorant ‘Yes Minister’ bureaucracy. That’s what happens when a politician has no underlying principles and is obsessed with chasing ephemeral opinion polls.

Morrison’s ejection of Craig Kelly MP from the government party (and effectively from the parliament) shows how really dumb Morrison was as a politician. He preferred the deeply flawed ‘advice’ of a self-serving and largely incompetent bureaucracy over that of one of his own people who had carried out the deep research that the bureaucrats had failed to do.

The political legacy of Scott Morrison is that he left the Liberal Party of R G Menzies in a ruined state – possibly mortally wounded - in addition to the tens of thousands of innocent Australians who now suffer seriously degraded long-term health because of the experimental injectables - as the ‘mysterious’ unexplained excess death rates are now showing. Australia is such a poorly governed country - a pox on all their houses!

Thanks for your response Lapun.

Scott Morrison is deeply mired in coercive vaccination policy. He was Social Services Minister in 2015 and was responsible for raising the No Jab, No Pay bill which became the No Jab, No Pay law for coercive vaccination of children in 2016. This was at the behest of the Murdoch empire, with News Corp being a corporate partner with the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute which is involved in vaccine research. Murdoch media ran the No Jab, No Play vaccine campaign for children in its tabloids between 2013-2015, and of course compliant politicians were eager to satisfy the wishes of Murdoch. The ‘No Jab’ concept came to the fore during the Covid response with No Jab, No Job; No Jab, No Travel; No Jab, No Restaurant/Pub; No Jab, No Sport…No Jab, No Life…

In regard to No Jab, No Pay for children, re tax benefits, of course many support vaccination of children, but children are given so many vaccines now, they’re being exploited with the over-use of these medical products, coming to a head now with Covid jabs.

You did well if you listened to all the inquiry evidence (6 hours on Day 1). I’ve listened to the first hour (while watching golf on the telly) and they still haven’t got beyond examining Dr Ashley Croft’s medical credentials.

The good old Scottish Daily Express saves me the trouble by reporting that his evidence “suggests there was 'insufficient or no evidence' to suggest that lockdowns, social distancing and face masks had any impact on slowing the spread of the virus”.

The limited MSM coverage elsewhere only sought to disparage Dr Ashley, as did the senior council of the Inquiry. This Scottish inquiry is obviously going to be as useless as the London inquiry.

Yes, takes over an hour before they actually start digesting the findings. Joke really. Day-2 is barely even worth watching. The main judge that does most of the talking is NOT impartial when it comes to the vax findings and of course he actually says the vaccine deaths/damage must be co-incidence as MHRA says so. Stunning ! He defends the fake vax on multiple occasions ! They are only setting us up for the next scamdemic. Lockdown harder and faster etc ! See you in the re-education facility ?!

Thanks Douglas.

The situation in Australia is so dire…

At the moment collective amnesia appears to have set in, and people have blocked out the tyrannical behaviour of ‘health/medical’ officers and politicians who insisted people be jabbed, or excluded from society.

No Jab, No Job to No Jab, No Life.

Ironically it was the supposedly vulnerable, the elderly, who were most safe from mandates because they weren’t of working age, but grim times for them if they were incarcerated in aged care with all the terrorising about ‘the virus’.

This is the biggest scam of all time, with ginormous social, economic and political damage, the perpetrators must be brought to account.

As a medical layman who has spent decades refuting the climate change hoax, in which I have BSc (engineering) competence, it is obvious to me that all the evidence points to the Coronavirus debacle also being a globally coordinated hoax, a “plandemic”, with heinous global depopulation and enslavement ulterior motives.

To my mind, nobody has managed to refute the evidence presented at Dr Reiner Fuellmich’s Covid Crimes Against Humanity grand jury model proceedings. I have summarised his trial evidence here: https://metatron.substack.com/p/reiner-fuellmichs-grand-jury-court.

That's a great question. The other related question, which I think might be a productive way of getting to the heart of what was clearly a global conspiracy, is "Why was Sweden able to resist the global pressure to conform to the Globalist agenda?". I suspect these two questions are closely related.

The answer to the first question regarding vaccination is probably, I suspect, that the Globalist pressure on Sweden was too much to resist, especally after all the Swedish "dissent" and independent methodology.. The second question is unanswered and is, I suspect, the most realistic way of getting to the truth. Other countries are never going to admit their complicity in a global conspiracy.

Re "Why was Sweden able to resist the global pressure to conform to the Globalist agenda?"

It was deliberately planned that way so as to have a control group for the wise to discern the truth.

As regards medical ethics these were suspended so the Great Vaccine Experiment could take place to prove once and for all that vaccines do not and have never ever been good for health.

I’m actually amazed that the jab didn’t seem to have the impact that it had everywhere else. A hypothesis is that actual immunity was achieved ahead of the jab, therefore negating the detrimental effects.

Why does anyone grant Tegnell, or anyone else you don't know, authority to make such decisions or diktats?

It is still quite astounding to me why so many people who supposedly "get it" still believe in governance. There should have been no "response" from any "authority" or "architect" for any "strategy" on Covid, no diktats. Certainly nothing that was coercive or involuntary. It is a slave mentality to believe that any "authority" has the right or even capability to make decisions for you. Sure, "experts" can put out whatever opinions they choose but I am not obliged to even listen, let alone obey. Even supposedly "red pilled" folks are happy to be willingly subservient to institutions of authority, they just want the "authority" to be someone they agree with, such as Dr Tegnell, etc.

Also, all of the "good guys" like Jay Bhattacharya, etc who advocated locking down/protecting the elderly, via the "Great Barrington Declaration", for their safety were pushing authoritarianism. These people are not remotely pro liberty.

You're conflating organisation/hierarchy with the tyranny of governance, which are 2 different things. The latter being involuntary and enforced under threat of violence. Sure, humans will organise into or form hierarchies but that isn't a problem, provided it is voluntary association.

I can't blame you because this response is a programmed defacto defense of governance/the status quo. It is pretty common and folks barely realise that is what they are doing. Unfortunately it is not logically consistent and it certainly is not moral. Humans have voluntarily associated and organised, free of coercion, from the beginning. It isn't some utopianist impossible concept. Both you and I do it on a daily basis.

Quite a feat to programme people to the degree that they believe humans cannot function without a ruling class diktating under threat of violence. It is actually incredible, when you think about it but as with Covid1984, most people do not think.

Hierarchies should support the masses of the people like an arch supports a building. This is why hierarchies are hier-arch-ies of course.

This suggests to me, at first sight, that vaccinations don't play a big role in excess death. But things aren't always as simple as they seem. I recall having read that people who were first infected (and note, by far not everyone gets ill) and then vaccinated were better protected against new variants than people who were first injected. Also, I read about the importance of the sequence of different vaccines ("live" vs "non-live") in children on all-cause death. I can therefore imagine that people who were infected before they were injected may overall have a better survival rate (less messed-up immune system? Less organ damage?).

I disagree with your headline. Sweden accepted that deaths would be inevitable before herd immunity would be built, if there was a pandemic. Those deaths were mainly localised to the elderly with weaker immunity. Lockdowns would simply slow the process down and not only burden the entire economy but put enormous pressures on the healthcare system while delaying natural immunity to build up. The only reason Sweden's deaths began increasing and continues to increase like all other fully vaccinated countries is because they went ahead to decide to vaccinate its population when there was no necessity for it.

That is all reasonable except there is no such thing as herd immunity. We are are each individual with individual immune systems in varying states.

We may have similar diets etc. but we cannot acquire immunity by so-called infection with a supposed virus, it is a false premise.

We build up our own immune systems by eating, drinking, breathing, exercising and sleeping well among other things.
