The Swedish Non-demic
Evidence that not having medical mandates "works"
After being tipped-off about this by the Substacker who writes
, I couldn’t help but to investigate and write about the result here.Death statistics from Sweden reveal that 2020 wasn’t as bad as advertised by major news media outlets. Here is a headline from The Business Insider in August of 2021:
“A year and a half after Sweden decided not to lock down, its COVID-19 death rate is up to 10 times higher than its neighbors”
Sounds pretty scary. Sounds like Sweden did the wrong thing by not imposing medical mandates such as lockdowns and masks and “vaccine mandates” on its own people.
But evidence shows that Sweden did the right thing after all. Take a look at the 24-month average of monthly death rates per 100,000 in Sweden, and see if you can tell from it when the “pandemic” began:

The blue bar at left is the average of monthly death rates for 2015 and 2016, the next one over is 2017 and 2018, then 2019 and 2020, and finally 2021 and 2022. The combining of the years hides the bump seen in 2020, but just as notorious was the fall in death seen in 2019.
Take a look at the raw data to see how it was that crazy numbers began in 2019, not in 2020:

And here is an official page for Sweden, showing that the life expectancy at birth in 2020, after falling a little, was still higher than that for males in 2016 and that for females in 2018 (orange and green markings added):

This is just another piece of evidence that government officials do not have a place in making medical mandates for their own people. Sweden didn’t do that to its people, and things worked out better for them than for most of the world.
