1/ Sweden’s no lockdown covid response is often called an “experiment”

This is utterly false, and it’s easy to prove.

In this thread I’ll go through pre-2020 pandemic plans from the WHO, CDC, Johns Hopkins, UK, and Australia.

NONE recommended 2020-style lockdowns. Let’s start with the WHO pandemic plan from October 2019.

Quarantine, border closure, and contract tracing are explicitly NOT recommended.

They also reviewed the world’s 10 best mask studies. All concluded masks don’t work.

If lockdowns worked, this should be impossible.

But lockdowns do not work. Which is why lockdowns were never recommended in any pre-2020 pandemic plan. Image I’ve been accused of cherrypicking, so let’s zoom out.

Sweden is 28th in covid deaths per capita. Well below the EU average.

The top countries in covid deaths per capita are ALL lockdown countries.
