Swedish expert: why lockdowns are the wrong policy.

Professor Johan Giesecke, one of the world’s most senior epidemiologists, advisor to the Swedish Government (he hired Anders Tegnell who is currently directing Swedish strategy), the first Chief Scientist of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, and an advisor to the director general of the WHO, lays out with typically Swedish bluntness why he thinks:

UK policy on lockdown and other European countries are not evidence-based

The correct policy is to protect the old and the frail only

This will eventually lead to herd immunity as a “by-product”

The initial UK response, before the “180 degree U-turn”, was better

The Imperial College paper was “not very good” and he has never seen an unpublished paper have so much policy impact

The paper was very much too pessimistic

Any such models are a dubious basis for public policy anyway

The flattening of the curve is due to the most vulnerable dying first as much as the lockdown

The results will eventually be similar for all countries

Covid-19 is a “mild disease” and similar to the flu, and it was the novelty of the disease that scared people.

The actual fatality rate of Covid-19 is the region of 0.1%

At least 50% of the population of both the UK and Sweden will be shown to have already had the disease when mass antibody testing becomes available

Yes, but you aren't taking into account the Gates-ian plexus who need to prosper on the control of panic and the manufacture and distribution of drugs/vaccines, or the ultra rich, who need to crash the economy, blame it on Trump, while they scoop all the devalued assets and stocks for their already bulging coffers.

Only groveling peasants don't understand this.

Haven't heard of this Swedish guy, but every single line in your excerpt is completely correct. These ones are the best.

Cue the smear campaign against Giesecke, as he spake heresy against the collective!

We'll find out he made a spelling mistake on his final thesis, that he forgot to brush his teeth one morning, and that he once didn't eat his vegetables after dinner. Therefore, his take on this must be discredited.
