Austria and Germany are also mastering this post peak lockdown approach perfectly. It's a type of religious griefing.
Example NL
6/ The "punishment" may correlate with culture tendencies towards autocratic systems. Let's have a look on the #punishmentindex.
The usual suspects are bad: IT, DE, AT, GR.
Skandinavia shines. I'm proud.
FR why?
The Slavic countries (beaten by history) have learned.
7/ Poland and Slovenia (I think SI should be top 5. The time sum flattens out what they really did) are outliers.
Those 2 are also the loudest in pushing for war.
Like most 😷 🔴🔴🔴 💉💉💉profiles.
Makes sense. Will they soon have 3 guns in their bio? "We want WW3"?
8/ The fact that most countries did mostly useless measures can be prooven by the absence of the “flattening”.
The FWHM is the same for most countries. If measures worked, this parameter should have given a signal (higher FWHM with stringency).
But let's see if we can see it?
9/ FWHM: So what do we see? You either supress it (AT), or it's out of the bag. But it simply comes back later (AT). The overall 2 year result for AT, IT, ES, NL was negative compared with SWE.
Interessting: some flatting (peak 2020Q1) in SWE seen. They did better with much less
10/ The only places where prolonged measures may have given a benefit is NZ and Australia. They managed to escape Wuhan, Alpha, Betta, Delta with a radical island isolation strategy. That's not an option on continents.
NZ will go through this with Omicron (luck) and vaccines.
10/ So what did Oxford do to burry this unconvenient fact about Sweden?
They went full Orwellian and changed the weight.
Rewrote history to fit the official truth and narrative.
"Lockdowns and radical freedom removals over years work."
11/ So let's extract FWHM a bit more systematic. They all look the same, except of course Austria which completely suppressed peak 2020 Q1, but then paid the price later (and added collateral damage).

Q1: How is it possible to have such a C19 mortality (same as in 2020 without vaxx) in the 65+ group which is 92% vaccinated with a vaccine which protects against C19 death with 98% VE.
Q2: If the VE is true, all those C19 should be in the unvaccinated 65+. While this group is ~5% of the cohort, it would require a 20x fatality rate. This would have been seen in low vaxx countries. But it is not.
3/ Portugal:
Q3: This country is 99% vaccinated with the vaxx which protects against death with 98% VE. Why do they have a higher mortality than Sweden, Norway?
