Sweden and covid-19

I find it bizarre that no one mentions Sweden in the vaccine debate. During 2020, Sweden had:

• no vaccinations
• no masks
• no lockdown

Yet their hospitals never got overwhelmed. I also know this to be a fact as I have a relative who works there in an actual hospital in Stockholm. And total (all cause) deaths for the entire 2020 year are nothing out of the ordinary. Here, compare Sweden 2020 total deaths to the 5-year average:

I swear, I tell people this and they look at me like I’m weird. Some people even become visibly angry! I think the issue is most people fell for “social media hype” and they formed their opinion too early based on bad evidence. Then they latched on to that first opinion that came to mind and it turned into ideology. And ideology causes people to reject conflicting information . such as the above graph. Psychologists even have a word for this. It is called “first conclusion bias”.

I find it sad that I’m one of the few people who think that the whole world obviously overreacted. Watch what happens now, this ridiculous over-response to a glorified flu will result in a massive economic crash, one that the world has never seen before. Much worse than the one in 1929. It will, possibly and probably, be coupled with hyperinflation and it will cause unspeakable hardship on civilization. Then there will be scapegoats. I am not sure who exactly, but it will be incredibly unfair. Much to the delight of the masses.
