    Sweden’s No-Lockdown Covid Strategy Vindicated

    By Thomas Lifson

    Alone among the advanced countries of the world, Sweden followed the sensible policy for dealing with a highly transmissible virus with a 99%+ survival rate, dangerous mostly to easily identifiable groups – the elderly and those with co-morbidities. It allowed the population at minimal risk to carry on life as usual, and restricted movements and otherwise protected only those at elevated risk. As the rest of the advanced world locked down, life for almost all Swedes went on as normal.

    The result: herd immunity spread. Sweden’s economy avoided the catastrophic harm inflicted elsewhere.

    And now we see that Sweden’s approach (which, incidentally, is how all previous pandemics have been handled) has been vindicated. John Miltimore writes for the Foundation for Economic Education:

    In contrast to its European neighbors, Sweden is welcoming tourists. Businesses and schools are open with almost no restrictions. And as far as masks are concerned, not only is there no mandate in place, Swedish health officials are not even recommending them.

    What are the results of Sweden’s much-derided laissez-faire policy? Data show the 7-day rolling average for COVID deaths yesterday was zero (see below). As in nada. And it’s been at zero for about a week now.

  • The Rule of Freedom:
    "Everyone could live by the rule of freedom — do what you want to as long as it doesn’t interfere with the freedom of others — if large numbers of people really saw that and grabbed it and lived by it, then all problems would not exists any more. No more moralists, addicts, criminals, marxists, communists, islamists, jihadists, pedocrats, globalitss, rapists, murderers, thugs, etc. These resolves themselves, as people lives in pure freedom and do what they wants, WITHOUT HARMING ANYONE."
