totally fraudulent, using precisely the same distortion methods. Yet taken up here in Sweden as if they're lemony-fresh and new
Shame on infamous Swedish naiveté. Or? How many fall for the official slogans, the same slogans that have been used in other countries months earlier and long since shown to be totally fraudulent, using precisely the same distortion methods. Yet taken up here in Sweden as if they're lemony-fresh and new.
Gratitude to the many Swedes who look on in disbelief, like these two:
Skam över ökända svensk naivitet. Eller? Hur många faller för de officiella parollerna, samma paroller som har använts i andra länder månader tidigare och för länge sedan visat sig vara totalt bedrägliga, med exakt samma förvrängningsmetoder. Ändå tas de upp här i Sverige som om de vore citronfräscha och nya.
Tacksamhet till de många svenskar som ser på med misstro, som dessa två:

SWEDEN 2021 : Covid & Deaths Summary, Anno Covidus II, Final Report
Posted on January 11, 2022 by swdevperestroika
Intro
I can’t fathom that this is my second “Annual Covid Summary” post – today it’s exactly one year ago that I wrote the summary for 2020. At that time, I was pretty certain (based on following THE DATA!) that I would not have to write a report for 2021…
Boy, was I wrong….! The entire world is still, almost 2 years into the Pandemic, not following the data, but continuing to “Follow The Science” (TM), going full #MassFormationPsychosis.…! Not only the click-baiting. fear mongering media, but also our Governments and Authorities continue pushing the false narrative that Covid is the contemporary equivalent to the Spanish Flu, and that the only way to avoid a catastrophy is to vaccinate everybody with 3,4,5,… shots, to put papercloths around your mouth everywhere, and to isolate….
IM!HO the world has gone MAD. Fully and Completely. Period.
As of yesterday, SCB.se’s prel. all cause deaths data can be considered stable enough for drawing valid conclusions about Swedish all cause mortality 2021.
Anyhow, here it is: the numbers and facts regarding all things Covid and Death, Sweden 2021."

Mass testing, ICU occupancy and vaccine efficacy
On the current situation in Sweden
Focus is therefore now almost exclusively on how the vaccines significantly protect us from “serious illness and death”.
While this conclusion is also kind of a stretch in light of the above data since the absolute numbers are reduced to such a level that the margin of error starts making inferences very unreliable, we nonetheless get daily news reports emphasizing how the vaccines must be working since the unvaccinated positively swamp our ICUs. Among the ≈40 patients.
Looking at this data, to begin with, total numbers in the tally include the data from before the vaccine rollout. The numbers from week 52 state that 3 804 patients out of 3 995 were unvaccinated, i.e. the give you the total for the entire year. But to use this data point in anything akin to reporting on the relative numbers of vaccinated vs. unvaxxed ICU patients is entirely nonsensical, since that would implicitly ascribe efficacy to the vaccines before they even hit the market, and way before we had any meaningful uptake. They’re probably not that good.
Any such argument will also chalk up to the vaccines all the other factors that reduced overall ICU numbers before the advent of vaccination, such as e.g. seasonality or natural immunity. Fortunately, I don’t think this line of reasoning is very common, but to even address the total numbers in this way and in this context is problematic.
Moving on, we’re dealing with a definition of “vaccinated” that decidedly favours the impression of vaccine efficacy. In the published reports on ICU occupancy, Sweden’s public health agency counts patients as unvaccinated until two weeks after their second dose. This practice has been discussed and criticized elsewhere, not least since we know most AEs take place during the first two weeks after treatment. This counter-intuitively pushes most sufferers of severe adverse vaccine events into the “unvaccinated” category.
This also holds true for the consequences of the immediate immunosuppression that follows from the vaccines (which is nothing unusual or peculiar to the covid vaccines as such).
On top of this, it must be emphasized that we’re dealing with very small sample sizes:
There are remarkably few patients with covid in the ICU from the summer and onwards. The small sample sizes renders confounding factors potentially enormous, especially in light of the endemic spread of the virus.
In other words, since everyone and their mom has covid and people in general thus are likely to test positive, anything that just moderately correlates with being unvaccinated while also negatively impacting your health, such as poverty or immigrant status, may have a huge impact on the relative ICU occupancy of the two categories in question. Tiny sample sizes = large margin of error, especially with lots of confounding variables.
And of course, the de facto sample size shrinks further if you account for the fact that only a fraction of the ICU patients are actually there due to covid in the first place. I.e. I don’t care if you see a correlation between being unvaccinated and tending to slip and fall in the shower - we have no business bringing vaccine efficacy into the discussion of any set of cases unless there’s a clear causal link between covid infection and ICU occupancy.
Finally, the official Swedish narrative on how the unvaccinated are swamping the ICUs, implying the wondrous efficacy of the vaccines, is contradicted by reams of data on fading or absent vaccine efficacy from other countries, such as Israel, the UK or Denmark.
In summary, the authorities in question really need to immediately publish detailed data on everything from precise vaccination status to gender, age, co-morbidities, socio-economic factors &c. Without this, it’s entirely impossible to ascertain anything meaningful from this jumble of pre-packaged information and miniscule samples, and the authorities’ and the media’s claims of an obvious vaccine efficacy remain unwarranted.
And once again, there are still basically no deaths, the ICU occupancy is below average, and there are almost no covid-positive ICU admissions or deaths per case.
Edit: an article just dropped in one of our major newspapers. The lead:
“The data on covid-19 patients may be misleading. Several regions alert the FHM that the numbers may in fact be lower.
One example is patients being treated for fractures but who are counted as ‘covid-19 patients’ due to testing positive during admission.”
