Initially, Sweden was the one Western country that totally refused to go along with the virus hoax. They didn’t shut down at all, or do masks or antisocial distancing, and never had the same supposed death rate of the UK, France, or the US.
Due to pressure from the UN and other globalist groups, they did back off their “zero tolerance” policy against the hoax. But they’ve still never gone as stupid as the rest of the West.

As the CDC urges Americans to mask up against the Delta variant, Sweden’s chief epidemiologist has argued that more data is needed about the strain’s infectiousness. His mask-free nation is hovering at zero Covid deaths per day.
Anders Tegnell said on Friday that there was “a lot we do not know” about Delta and cautioned against drawing “far-reaching conclusions” about the coronavirus strain. He noted that the variant had been circulating in Sweden “for quite some time” with little effect, particularly in high-risk settings such as nursing homes.
His comments were made in response to newly released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggesting the Delta strain is more transmissible and could potentially cause more severe illness. The New York Times and other media outlets ran stories reporting that the CDC now believes the Delta variant is as contagious as chickenpox – but this comparison didn’t seem to impress Tegnell.
“It is difficult to say how contagious Delta is, [as] when it comes to chickenpox, we have been able to follow the disease for several years. The infectivity [of Delta] seems to be very uneven – in some cases, one person infects a hundred people, then we have other occasions when an infected person does not infect anyone at all,” he told Sweden’s Aftonbladet.
In separate remarks, he pointed to the fact that one-third of the country’s municipalities reported zero new Covid cases over the past week. At the same time, there was an uptick in cases among young people in Stockholm and other large cities.
And while US health authorities are pressing Americans in “high transmission” areas to mask up, Sweden dropped its last remaining mask recommendation – related to public transport – on July 1. While Sweden’s public health agency has supported measures such as social distancing and remote working, it has no recommendations for the use of face coverings in public spaces.
Reviled by the media for refusing to impose harsh lockdowns, Sweden’s less draconian approach to the health crisis appears to be paying off: The Scandinavian nation has recorded a total of eight Covid-linked deaths so far this month, an average of 0.25 deaths per day. While it’s possible this number will increase due to reporting lags, deaths have undoubtedly plummeted over the past several months. On June 4, Sweden reported 13 deaths – more than the entire month of July.
So, to be clear – I do not support entertaining the bullshit from the WHO and the CDC about the supposed variants.
However, if Tegnell were to come out and say “this is all just a hoax,” he would clearly get forced out of his position by a mob of angry women doing the Greta Thunberg “how dare you!” face as they called him a “conspiracy theorist.”
So, he has to play ball and pay lipservice to this hoax.
It’s unfortunate, because what this does is allow for Republicans and conservatives to point to Sweden and say “see, they were just being reasonable.” What they should be saying is that the whole thing is a gigantic hoax.
I mean, even if you believe that there was a new virus last year – (there is no evidence for that) – this “variants” stuff is just clearly made up. It’s a fake second test, where they take the genetic material that they’ve run through the PCR already and run it through a second PCR at very high cycles. That is the only evidence for the existence of a “variant.” When they want to create a new variant, they just come out with a new test that identifies some new strand of genetic material that is likely to be present in a second round of PCR testing.
I think Tegnell clearly knows that this is all a lot of bullshit, and is just doing what he has to do to keep the mainstream English media quiet while he avoids lockdowns in the country.
All that said: it will be interesting to watch Sweden for the results of the vaccine, because a huge portion of their population has taken it – and it is mostly the Pfizer and Moderna vaxxes.
This really creates a lot more questions.
