Sweden became a COVID-19 rogue state when it refused to lockdown. Now an Aussie epidemiologist living there wants the truth about Sweden’s “success” to be told.
In March, with Sweden’s borders wide open and testing and screening basically non-existent, the country’s Public Health Authority insisted everything was fine.“We all recovered within a couple of weeks, then a couple of weeks after that, I fell ill again. I am still ill.”
“The numbers have started to trend up again, and it’s my expectation they will continue to move up as we move in to autumn and winter. The pandemic is not even close to over in Sweden.”‘I WAS TOLD NOT TO SEE A DOCTOR’ Mr Steadson says what is perhaps even more concerning is the portrayal of the virus in Sweden’s media.
