Excellent read, very distilled information, thank you. I especially appreciated the graphs for the 3 different age groups. I feel better equipped to defend Sweeden’s approach, thank you!

Thank God for Sweeden & Florida!

I know Sweden got it right regarding management of the pseudopandemic, but it doesn’t seem to have helped long term. My best friend has lived in Stockholm for over 15 years. He had the jabs in order to work because his customers were insisting on it in order to enter their premises (He teaches legal English). He was recently told in a letter from the State to get his booster or face possible restrictions on his ability to travel. He told me recently he’d had to show his vax pass to get into a club he’s a member of. When I asked if this was normal, he said “Oh yes, you have to show it to get into all sorts of places now”.

So, from where they were, Sweden is now in much the same place as other European countries, and it’s not really of great importance that they followed established protocols two years ago.

Frankly I have been living as normal since very early. And absent the time, inclination or obvious statistical analysis acumen as you I have the same (or similar from my perspective) truth trajectory. Finally, interestingly, some substackers in the past weeks were seemingly suggesting, if not outright asserting, that Omi is not a variant of CoV2 having pre-dated it (I do wonder where this stream of consciousness has wandered off to BTW). The interesting part is S-gene-target-failure. So in the US fewer than 1% of samples were being sequenced (I believe less than 5% worldwide) yet corporate media were breathlessly heralding the latest Variants Of Concern from which we were finally supposed to be afraid for our children. Suddenly, Omi is everywhere since unlike other variants we can tell from the PCR test that the S gene doesn't flouresce. Well what bullshark that seems to me. The study from the JAMA shows that SGTF (AKA previously essentially a negative test - NO S gene) surpassed SGT+ in March '21. Signaling, from my neanderthal thinking that CoV2, if existed at all, has now been surpassed by common respiratory illness and is endemic. Voila.

I’ve followed Sweden from the very beginning. Remember when the press said their approach it was a disaster early on? It was mainly due to nursing home deaths. Note how the media completely failed to show how New York did even worse? Note how they completely ignored Sweden as lockdown death rates states US states surpassed them by significantly?

By mid 2020 it was clear from IFR data that the great majority of people need not be fearful. All one had to do was look for themselves.

I've been saying it for a while, I'll say it again, and I think I will have to make a post about this as it's a big subject when you think more deeply about it. Red Pills are dangerous, they enable lies to be seen for what they are.

Is it just me, or is just about EVERY SINGLE THING which has been labelled a "conspiracy theory", slowly been PROVED to be true recently? I remember hearing about Covid before, I say again, BEFORE even the BBC had mentioned it! I had a contact who had a contact in China who was being locked in his apartment building! I mentioned it to people, guess what they called me. Yep, you guessed it! Once it was on the BBC, I was no longer a conspiracy theorist. Well, until a very short time later when I (along with other notable unmentionables like Steven Crowder and Don Trump Jr) expressed my view that it was not a huge amount worse than flu and could even be very similar to it in terms of mortality. My opinion remains the same on that even now. (I can explain why, if you remove all the "covid deaths" which were "with" not "of" Covid).

My point is, if the news had just reported what the "conspiracy theorists" were saying, from the very start, they would have been virtually bang on EVERY time!

It's a funny old world this. And I ain't taking off my tin foil hat any time soon. It's WAY too reliable!!

It's a pity that most of them (still) ran into the arms of Pfizer and Moderna and took the mRna Gene Therapy Vaccines (mostly because they 'like to travel' and 'virtue signalling' is ingrained).

The best win would be the shots stopped for all when there showed a safety signal. I would like to see graph of medical treatments as a function of injection roll outs. Will treatments to say neurologists and/ or cardiologists rise above prior years baselines? I know 3 injected people less than 30 years old that require Neuro specialist for the first time in their lives.

And after all that, for a completely accurate picture, which is even more damning to the official narrative, most, if not all, of the excess deaths involving the old and sick were not caused by “covid” at all, but by the unprecedented policies implemented in response to the alleged “pandemic”, which even Sweden unfortunately succumbed to with respect to nursing homes and deadly isolation, neglect, and sedation.

What would be great is a post that list all the myths about covid and the facts/data that show the reality, like this one but on every topic.

don't know if you ever tried to check EMA data on vaccines, but I went today and a part you need to register, and a part you don't have access to all unless you show you got credentials for it, you cannot download pdf of latest data on vaccines trials or clinical data.

I managed to download some of them with a typical browser trick, but don't know how to send you or to a person that can analyze all that data.

All papers are confidential (why??) and all pages have a big sign in diagonal by Ema...

That shows clearly EMA is a private company not a public one....

If you interested pls replay and let me know how

OK; so why is there none of the (non-covid attributable) excess mortality that we seen in many other countries during the second half of 2021?

You should send this to LinkedIn and get them to reinstate you. And apologise.

But at least the vaccine didn’t kill people?
