>>The fact that the pandemic is effectively done in Sweden is one.

Acting like this is a foregone conclusion is the height of arrogance. Diseases spread in waves. They could just be at the low point between two waves.

We won't know until years from now. Just asserting you're right when there are still this many unknown factors smacks of someone looking for data after coming to a conclusion.




>> We won't know until years from now.

fair point, but do you know that the under 65 excess deaths metrics for Sweden is already almost identical to previous years ie. if you were looking at the charts you would not even know they had a pandemic. I suspect "years from now" looking at the US metrics it will be similar.


Here are charts of excess mortality: https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/

You can clearly see excess mortality for Sweden, higher than previous years.

Edit: missed the under 65 bit, would be interested in seeing that data for Sweden, but you can see the collated graphs for all the countries that contribute and you definitely can spot spikes in the lower age ranges.


Death rate is depended on level of D3 vitamin in blood. Wait for winter first.


This is a very specific claim. I don't doubt you but something like this should always be backed up with sources or people will dismiss you immediately.
