Sweden, of course, was maligned in 2020 for foregoing a strict lockdown. The Guardian called its approach “a catastrophe” in the making, while CBS News said Sweden had become “an example of how not to handle COVID-19.”

Despite these criticisms, Sweden’s laissez-faire approach to the pandemic continues today. In contrast to its European neighbors, Sweden is welcoming tourists. Businesses and schools are open with almost no restrictions. And as far as masks are concerned, not only is there no mandate in place, Swedish health officials are not even recommending them.

What are the results of Sweden’s much-derided laissez-faire policy? Data show the 7-day rolling average for COVID deaths yesterday was zero (see below). As in nada. And it’s been at zero for about a week now.

There wasn't a RIGHT way of dealing with this. Everyone was guessing and since every country is different, good or bad results were mostly luck. And the luck fluctuated between good and bad as time went on.

The only exceptions were small island countries and massively compliant populis (or liars).

But now that they have been proven right we should follow suit and stop with the silly vaccine crap.

Sweden has had multiple waves of Covid.

Their strategy has not worked well overall.

Every country has had multiple waves of covid because that is what viruses do. They lived more normally than most though throughout and ended up with good results. They might have another wave but overall, things worked out well for them in spite of everyone insisting they were wrong. A truly balanced approach is what Sweden did.

But we are sitting pretty? We are dead last the absolute worst. The most cases and the most deaths. Without a strategy at all.

Honestly I think we need Russia to come in and take over. We are just too stupid to continue.
