Tegnell’s strategy in the early stage of the crisis is facing growing criticism in Sweden. The official commission investigating the country’s response has criticised the slow reaction at the start of 2020 and noted that Sweden let the virus spread faster than other Nordic countries. But the commission will not pronounce on the wisdom of the no formal lockdown strategy until next year.
Mattias Karlsson, former leader of the populist Sweden Democrats, told the FT that Tegnell had been “completely wrong” on several issues and that the judgment on him would be “very harsh”. He added: “Especially in the early phase of the pandemic there were a lot of things we could have done that would have made a difference.”
Isn't this guy a far rightist? Sweden is so weird here.
Because it wasn’t as awful as everywhere else when he kept his cool and didn’t freak out… it’s more important in leftism to look like you’re doing something instead of actually doing it.
Also, even NYT called out china for trying to botnet a twitter mob against him.
NYT accusing China of using a botnet when they paid China for clicks to fraudulently inflate clicks for years. They played that one a little close to the nose.
In Sweden, there was a massive scandal about 15 years ago with an experimental vaccine being rolled out for the flu that ended up inflicting neurological damage on hundreds of people, and gave many of them a form of chronic narcolepsy that some of them are still suffering from. The Pandemrix vaccine was rolled out in schools, and a lot of the affected people were children.
This is why the political situation in Sweden is so different. After the Pandemrix scandal, there were huge lawsuits against both the government and the manufacturers. The Swedish government would come up against huge resistance if they attempted to mandate any vaccine.
Sweden, yes?

Guys going to get hung for saving his country, liberalism is disgusting.
It's the nationalists who are after him apparently.
Are we still pretending Sweden has nationalists?
How else are you going to characterize Karlsson?

And it was done by the same guy who invented their "hands off" approach now.
The duality of man.
