1/ There is no longer any doubt that Sweden won.

"And more and more countries are taking that position, because even with a fantastic vaccine, we can control it, but we cannot eradicate it… We have to accept a certain level of spread in the society."
unherd.com/thepost/anders…
2/ "We probably have to accept there’s going to be a few cases in our hospitals, with COVID in the foreseeable future, just like we are accepting a few cases of flu or a few cases of many diseases that we cannot control completely."
3/ "I mean, if you look at excess mortality, for example, Sweden did not fare very badly at all, maybe four or five from the bottom in the European Union. But there was definitely a need of a much higher level of immunity in a population..."
4/ "When I read different articles and so on, it has been reasonably peaceful in Sweden. We haven’t had a huge divide like in the United States and other places....when I walk in the streets, it’s only thumbs up."

1/ Fauci is 100% wrong on both of his claims that natural immunity is not durable and getting vaxx’d with natural immunity offers “dramatically increased protection.”

Fauci needs to spend more time reading and less time on TV.
2/ “People who recovered from the virus were far less likely to become infected during the latest wave of the pandemic than people who were vaccinated against COVID.” israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx…

1/ This is why you get an F in public health if you base your policy on viral loads, bad models, and rejected papers while still showing strong VE against severe outcomes.

You get stupid headlines and hysteria like this…
2/ Let’s see what others have to say -

1/ This is dangerous.

“It would create a carveout in Section 230 opening social media platforms up to lawsuits for hosting health misinformation. The bill directs the HHS to issue guidelines on what should be classified as ‘health misinformation’.”
theverge.com/2021/7/22/2258…
2/ Several voices including myself to @MartinKulldorff to @BallouxFrancois have been slander with the label “misinformation” even though we present evidence and data based views.

This isn’t about your health or safety. It is purely about controlling you and science.
3/ What is “official advice” often contradicts itself. Officials will change their mind or not take a position due to uncertainty. This will force regulators to take unhealthy positions. Trust will fall.

It’s “misinformation” to assume there is one voice in science and medicine.

1/This is profoundly incorrect.

"If you get vaccinated, about 90% of the time you’re not going to get COVID, even if you do get it, there will be less of the virus in you and your illness is likely to be much milder.” - Jeff Burgess, MD, MS, MPH

2/ Who pushed that half (yes, half) of COVID infections will result in heart damage.

Classic measurement bias.
3/ Who supports endless lockdowns.

1/ "[COVID] has exposed what we all have known existed, but we have tolerated for years: the overt bias of the media, the lack of diverse viewpoints on campuses, the absence of neutrality in big tech, and now more visibly than ever, the intrusion of politics into science."
2/ "We should also fear that the concept of 'the science' has been seriously damaged. Even the best journals in the world have become contaminated by politics and published bad science. That adds to the public’s confusion, and it diminishes trust in experts."
3/ "By now, many in the public have simply become fatigued...So, how do we proceed at this very moment, in this country, with its heavily damaged psyche? Those of us who want the truth must keep seeking it, and those of us who see the truth must keep speaking it."

1/ COVID & mass hysteria

"Using the background of COVID, we study past mass hysteria. Negative information which is spread through mass media repetitively can affect public health negatively in the form of nocebo effects and mass hysteria."
2/ "We argue that mass and digital media in connection with the state may have had adverse consequences during the COVID crisis. The resulting collective hysteria may have contributed to policy errors by governments not in line with health recommendations."
3/ "Prior scientific research on disease mitigation measures during a possible influenza pandemic had warned against such invasive interventions and recommended a more normal social functioning. Moreover, in reaction to past pandemics, there were no lockdowns."
