#SparkaTegnell (#FireTegnell) has been trending on Swedish twitter all weekend. Every so often I wonder if Tegnell is oblivious to the fact that he constantly gets things wrong, then I remember the below. When there was an FOI request, this did not exist.

Fortunately, Tegnell's correspondent, one of his predecessors, Dr Pete Tüll kept his copies.

But Tegnell deleted it. This means he *knows* what he is doing is a failure, it was predicted, and he's been lying about it.
Then I wonder - what effect can it have had on a nondescript, obscure Swedish bureaucrat in his 60s to suddenly be thrust in to the limelight and be *constantly wrong*, *know that he is wrong* - and yet he gets lauded as a hero in his country and a celebrity around the world?

Swedish Chief Epidemiologist Anders Tegnell has today publicly claimed the majority of Covid deaths in Sweden were in fact not caused by Covid.

Sweden has two registries of Covid deaths. One is from @Folkhalsomynd and records if a person died within 30 days of a positive test.
This will overcount by including people who died from other causes unrelated to Covid, but will undercount by missing those who die outside the 30 day window.

This is the data reported internationally.

The second registry is actually the official one, from @socialstyrelsen
This count is based on death certificates and the officially recorded cause of death as determined by a doctor.

This will likely undercount, especially early in the pandemic, when doctors were unfamiliar with the disease.

Just thought I'd post some nice pics of kids in Japan practicing #kyokushin karate.
Some older kids.
It's pretty full on. Full contact karate. One day I hope to return to this. I miss it. #longcovid

Wow. Talk about propaganda.

Sweden's leading newspaper, @dagensnyheter, booked an interview with a Swede living in New Zealand. After she old them she supported the NZ strategy, they cancelled the interview, instead going with an "anti-lockdown" Swede.
They failed to even report that nearly 9 in 10 New Zealanders support their Zero Covid approach, and only added some other Swedess in NZ views after many of them wrote to protest.

Perspective -

Sweden 14692* reported Covid-19 deaths
New Zealand 27 reported Covid-19 deaths
* Sweden has not reported any new Covid deaths since Tuesday due to a "system update"

Jesus F Christ.

Swedish "Science Radio" does not under Science.

They claim there that the risk of getting Covid-19 is just 0.2% after a 2nd vaccine. >
First of all, after 18 freaking months they apparently don't understand that Covid-19 is the disease state. The paper they cite is talking about infection with sars-cov-2. If you don't get sick, you don't have Covid-19, you're just infected with the virus >
But most seriously, because only 0.2% of a certain group of people (Covid symptom study) got infected following vaccination, they conclude the risk of infection is only 0.2%!

🦘In a surprising turn of events, despite the relaxation of restrictions to decrease the spread of a serious virus, the virus continues to spread with exponential growth in Sweden. 🙄

Nobody could possibly have predicted this, especially given what happened last year.🦘
🦘Oddly, despite cases increasing exponentially, hospitalisations are *also increasing*. 👀None of this, obviously, makes any sense.🦘
🦘Fortunately, Swedish schools open this week for compulsory in-person teaching with most having no ventilation (windows don't open), no HEPA filters or CO2 monitors, and definitely no masks. These lack of measures should help prevent the spread of infection in children.🦘
