CV and mad panic behaviour

Tegnell has said no such thing.

He has admitted they made errors in the care homes, that's it. But who didn't?

Attached is a terrific example of the gamesmanship that exemplifies this whole con. They're just not even remotely subtle.....

It's a bit hard to follow Dr Tegnell's arguments/statements because he changes the goalposts quite often.

To start with, it's worth noting that he was in hot water back in 2009 when he was behind the mass vaccination of Swedes with a vaccine that wasn't approved by the US FDA and was known to cause neurological disorders.  It caused narcolepsy in many Swedish children.

In April 2020, Tegnell stated, “In major parts of Sweden, around Stockholm, we have reached a plateau (in new cases) and we’re already seeing the effect of herd immunity and in a few weeks’ time we’ll see even more of the effects of that. And in the rest of the country, the situation is stable.”

As anyone with a basic knowledge of herd immunity knows, the percentage of the population that has to have contracted a disease or have been vaccinated against it varies according to how infectious it is.  For example it is >90% for measles and probably around 70% for COVID-19.  It's also worth noting that herd immunity for novel viruses has never been achieved by natural infection.

In late October 2020, Tegnell conceded that it would be "futile and immoral for a state to deliberately pursue herd immunity".  Tegnell also stated, "Throughout history there has up to now been no infectious disease whose transmission was fully halted by herd immunity without a vaccine.”

In February 2021, Dr Tegnell told Swedish public radio: "If we were to encounter the same disease again, knowing exactly what we know about it today, I think we would settle on doing something in between what Sweden did and what the rest of the world has done."

If that's not a concession that he was wrong, I don't know what is.

By the way, Sweden, with a population of 10.23M, has had 707K COVID cases and 13,111 deaths.  Neighbours Norway and Denmark, with a combined population of 11.1M, have had 297K COVID cases and 3,032 deaths.  Norway (population 5,3M) has only had 78K cases and 639 deaths.  Whichever way you crunch those numbers, Sweden's approach has been an appalling failure.  Now they are closing the border with Denmark, instituting lockdowns and just over 1M doses of vaccine have been administered.
