If Sweden couldn't become even more of a parody - New Swedish research shows masks work! But media says ... it's important not wear them tight, or you can't breath and might faint.

I kid you not.
I was wrong! It's even MORE a parody! The scientists involved are talking about how masks work - if you cough in them!

And the interviewer - "so this is the first big study to how that masks might have a little bit of an effect"

As they all sit chatting around a desk. Unmasked.
Oh god, it wasn't the media who said don't wear it too tight. It was the scientists!!!

And it's hard to breathe with masks!

***Freaking Swedish Professors***

I'm .... speechless ....
4.5 minutes left in the interview. I can't bare to watch any more.

@pegobry Back in 2010 while awaiting the birth of my son, a friend warned me about my wife taking Vitamin C because it might trigger scurvy in the baby. She said her Doctor warned her about this when she was pregnant.

This made zero sense to me, so I started to dig in to it.
>
@pegobry I actually found she was kind of right! ie That probably *is* what her Doctor told her, because I found it in some online medical textbooks! (Can't find it now)

I eventually tracked it down to a letter in a medical journal from a single doctor hypothesising it.
>
@pegobry Digging again now I did find this reference to it. Just bizarre that Doctors even in 21st century textbooks were getting taught such obviously implausible rubbish.

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%!
