Secret documents reveal the obvious - Sweden's pandemic strategy has not been to decrease infections as much as possible, but to mitigate to a level where healthcare can cope. Multiple ministers, including the former Prime Minister, Stefan Löfven, have directly lied about this.
Prediction: There will be zero repercussions from this being revealed.
Also worth pointing out, the Swedish Public Health Authority literally had a graph explaining this in virtually every press conference for the first year of the pandemic -

At one stage, even modified to show what happens if there's even more infections than you expect -
So while @peterwennblad's work is important, and shows *the government understood this was the strategy*, it was *never a secret*.

The real story is that Löfven, @lenahallengren and others could so obviously outright lie and Swedish media and the public would just believe them.
Ends up that these documents - albeit heavily redacted - were revealed more than a year ago. The key quote published today proving the Government lied was however not redacted. So we knew.

And ... yeah ... nobody has cared.

More than 1yr after my son fell ill from Covid and never fully recovered he finally - after I demanded it - has a diagnosis of "post-covid" and finally - after I demanded them - had appropriate blood tests conducted.

The result? The Dr just called to say we should take him to ER
A year. MORE THAN A FUCKING YEAR.

I'm furious.
And just for context - He turns 16 next week. He lost an entire term of school because he was fatigued. He now only makes 3-4 days/wk (if that). He's had to change his choices for his high school streams.

I should stop being shocked by this type of thing by Swedish journalists (and scientists for that matter), but nevertheless I keep getting shocked. An anonymous twitter account created a "excess mortality" graph that purports to show how well Sweden is doing over the pandemic.
There are *huge* problems with the graph, which I may go in to later, but just reflect on the fact that this is simply a graph produced by an anonymous account on twitter. That's it.

And here it's being retweeted by the Chief Editor of Flamman, a major left-wing outlet.
A Swede points out to him that the account that tweeted is apparently known for extreme right-wing disinformation.

@LAretakis response? "Eurostat is extreme right disinformation"? Breathe!" Image

Quite a few Danes are upset about my tweet last night about the odd phenomenon of ICU covid cases decreasing in Denmark while cases, hospitalisations, and mortality increase.
A Dane directed me to guidance issued on December 2021 that suggested that hospitals needed to consider whether patients really needed ICU before referring them, or if they could be handled in an existing ward.

It seems to me that this could be a reasonable explanation.
I've been personally attacked for this and told that no, this was only going to happen if ICU was under pressure and that didn't happen. Ends up that just 2 weeks before that guidance, this article in DagensMedicine stated there were only 10 free ICU beds in the entire country

Denmark this week lifted all Covid related restrictions, and one of the many talking points is that patients in ICU have been declining, despite cases and hospitalisations increasing.

What's not mentioned is that at the end of Dec, Denmark changed protocols for admission to ICU.
Denmark, like Sweden, now has *fewer* ICU beds overall than at the start of the Pandemic - a casualty of exhausted health care workers quitting or sick.

With the onset of Omicron, new guidelines essentially said "Do they *really* need ICU? Could you do it another ward?"
Less than 2 weeks later, the total number of patients in ICU (unfortunately OwiD does not have admissions) started to decline. Image

Sars-CoV-2 is a new virus. We don't know everything it does.

We do know it can, even if vaccinated -

* make you very ill
* kill you
* get in to most organs, incl. the brain
* stay there at least 18 months and...
* damage your kidneys
* damage your heart
* damage your lungs

>
* damage your pancreas
* cause autoimmune disease
* cause chronic, disabling illness
* trigger diabetes
* trigger cancer
* reactivate latent viruses
* cause fertility problems
* make your penis shrink (if you have one)
* cause strokes months later

>
* make you permanently lose your sense of taste and smell
* stop your lungs transferring oxygen
* stop your lungs getting rid of CO2
* stop your muscles being able to use oxygen
* damage your immune system
* cause heart attacks, months later
* and much more ...

Oh fantastic! @hziaudden has now covered the problematic paper I mentioned that the long covid minimizers like Balloux and Munro etc are loving.

Thanks Hisham! Some additional comments below, but be sure to read both of Hisham's threads.

The recruitment methods for the two groups were different. The Covid-positive group got messaged via an app typically used for official communications and was sent to *all* parents in the country with a child with a positive test history.

>
The control group was sourced via a message sent through a standard school app, and sent to parents in just 5 Danish municipalities (there's 98!)

The response rate was *very* different - 44.9% vs 21.3%.

The introductory text to the surveys was not provided.
