Here in the United States, we have become inundated with tales of COVID-19 doom and gloom. In America, the mainstream narrative is rife with hopelessness. We are told that there is simply no way to stop this virus without repetitive lockdowns, healthy quarantine, even of asymptomatic individuals, and universal mask mandates. And even with all of those extreme policy measures put in place, the politicians and public health officials tell us that we will have to wait for a vaccine for the country to even think about our “new normal” following the COVID-19 pandemic.
There’s one country that they don’t seem to want to talk about – Sweden. And for good reason. Sweden debunks the hysteria.
Sweden shows how unnecessary all of the interventions to “fight” the virus are.
Sweden shows us that a rational, evidence-based approach to the pandemic is now thriving.
In Sweden, there’s no mandatory masks, no mandatory lockdown, no vaccine, and most importantly, no problem.
Life has largely returned to normal in Sweden, and it all happened without the economy-destroying non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) demanded by the “public health expert” class, who guaranteed that chaos would come to every country that disobeyed their commands to hit the self-destruct button for their nations.
The Swedish government has provided its advanced metrics on the COVID-19 pandemic to the public, and the data includes the ever-important statistics on actual day of death, and other useful information. I ran the numbers month by month so you can get a very clear picture of Sweden’s downward trend.
In August, Sweden has registered just one death (!) with/from the coronavirus. Yes, you read that correctly. One death so far.
For the month of July, Sweden reported 226 deaths. They’ve accounted for 805 June deaths, 1646 in May, and 2572 in April. The deaths attributed to COVID-19 went from about a 50% reduction to falling off of a cliff.
The story is the same in the hospitals. COVID-19 is hardly registering as a blip on the radar. Sweden has reported just 4 new COVID-19 patients in their ICUs in August. The month of July saw only 52 COVID-19 patients in ICUs.
It doesn’t take a math whiz to come to the conclusion that the epidemic appears to have been wrapped up in Sweden for months. It’s unclear whether this is a result of having achieved the herd immunity threshold, or if the seasonality of the virus is providing indefinite relief. But it’s become absolutely clear that Sweden’s long term pandemic strategy is working.
Sweden did not do everything perfectly. Stockholm, like much of the West, failed to protect its nursing home population. The majority of the COVID-19 deaths in Sweden have come from the senior care population, with the average age of death (82) being the same as the average lifespan in the country. But remember, people in nursing homes are not mobile. They live in their own ecosystems and are not particularly impacted by COVID-19 policies. It was Sweden’s general population that was supposed to be plagued by their open society model to respond to the virus. We were told that the hospitals would be overrun, and that bodies of all ages would be dropping in the streets. This dystopian pandemia projection never came to fruition. Even during the worst months of the pandemic, Sweden’s general population never pressed their healthcare system. The same is true in the United States, but for whatever reason, many U.S. officials and “public health experts” have pushed the idea that everyone is equally impacted, which could not be further from the truth.
For this pandemic, the global public health expert class threw the pandemic playbook out the window, disregarding hundreds of years of proven science on herd immunity, in order to attempt to assert human control over a submicroscopic infectious particle. It hasn’t worked, to say the least. There is no evidence anywhere in the world that lockdowns or masks have *stopped* the spread of the virus. Sweden was one of the few places where cooler heads prevailed, and the scientists realized that attempts to stop the virus would be worse than the disease itself, in the form of economic and social ruin.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis.

Methinks the evidence is getting hard to ignore when even Cassandras like Chris Martenson are suddenly changing their song… reading thru the comments below his video is a classic example of cognitive dissonance writ large!
Here are a couple of examples
Go check out the comment section folks! Great grist for the morning grind… just be careful to avoid the retards set up on the rocks..
Yes, we won’t have to hear about his Duke degree anymore.
Hey, where was he when that black stripper got raped?
And still at a family gathering on weekend folks there were singing songs from the Government pastiche. Imitating months of programming that appears to be complete. When I mentioned that the lockdown was unneeded. Pointing to recent statistics coming outta Sweden my Brother, who is a local politician, rather than confronting those facts pointed to spike in deaths there three months ago. Of course me being somewhat of a shit monkey said that locking down here rest a sure second wave washing these shores.
To which he shrugged his shoulders and then resumed drinking his beer….
What to do but stack silver, hunker down by reducing debt and wait for the now inevitable shit show..
The Swedes understood natural immunity and how it ties in with the ‘microbiome’ and the science of epigenetics. They proved that they were right.
Living presently next door to Sweden in Norway. Personally investigated the hoax from Day One, and found testing centers only busy the one day the press was there. Warned about the dangers to the economy and the costs in terms of coming job losses. Stated there is real danger that tyranny is imposed.
All to no avail.
Although we did better than many countries, to this day when I comment in comment sections and provide true information there are nay-sayers who will point to Sweden as an example of what was done wrong. It boggles the mind how effective the propaganda has been, but then again they say it only takes 21 days to develop a new habit.
Let’s all develop a new one by the end of this summer which rejects the coronahoax before lockdown 2.0 gets fully brought to bear on us all. (It’s already under way very much like version 1.0 was imposed – a little here, a little there, wait and see the reaction and tweak the reasoning or details a bit and then impose it a little more another place a short while later.)
I say this as someone in the higher, but not yet highest of the alleged risk groups.

Exactly how Maskachussets and many other states are doing it. All while the stats are proving them wrong.
Swedish GDP collapses all the same without an official government lockdown. Oh my.
Doesn’t fit the ‘lockdowns are evil narrative’ does it?
People stopped spending and withdrew from the economy on their own.
Same result as if they had a lockdown.
Dave…. the lockdown on individual rights is what is evil..
The Swedish government you’re holding up as a paragon of virtue is the same government that is letting in hundreds of thousands of Muslim invaders who are turning whole sections of Swedish cities into third world sh*tholes like they came from.
These Muslim invaders have the blessing of the same Swedish government you’re holding up as a paragon of virtue to form ‘grooming gangs’ that rape and sexual assault native Swedish girls and boys and women with impunity.
If as a native born Swedish citizen you dare to utter ANY criticism of said Muslim invaders, YOU will go to jail, not them.
The same Swedish government you’re holding up as a paragon of virtue in Covid non-policy, has NO freedom of speech.
The same Swedish government you’re holding up as a paragon of virtue are as close to being outright Communists as any socialist country on earth. The CCP would be proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with them and yet this article sucks up to that fowl government because they didn’t impose an official lock-down.
Please, the Swedish government already had the Swedish population conditioned like Pavlov’s dog to lock themselves down through rigid social conditioning and threat of jail time if they piped up one peep of disagreement of the Party Line.
Sweden’s native population is cratering due to brow beaten Swedish men never wanting to even have sex with the Matronizing Maoist Swedish women who run the quasi communist madhouse formerly known as Sweden.
Quit being hypocrites regarding Sweden’s Covid policy, it’s a monument to nothing but State Conditioning.
Letting thousands of Sweden’s most vulnerable elderly population die from Covid I guess was perfect, less native Swedes and the Muslim invaders get their houses and property and jobs.
Sweet
Mission Accomplished
Another paid troll trying to discredit Sweden’s absolute success in defeating Covid-19 without becoming a dictatorship. Go fuck off troll.
Show the EU and US GDP charts you douchebag.
You are such an idiot, you defeat your own argument. Sweden didn’t lockdown and achieved an equal or better result than the lockdown countries. The stupid, it burns.
Fuck off this site you troll.
