Incidentally, sensible Sweden is doing tickety-boo whilst the rest of the Scandies catch up in excess deaths.
Could you find a quote where someone has actually claimed this?We've got the vaccines to prevent illness, remember? aNd ThEy WoRK pErFEcTLy 🤪
Well, for example, the claimed efficacy of the Pfizer jab is 95%. The actual efficacy quickly plummets to <40%, as Israel has demonstrated.So that's a no, then.

In this country, half the population (that's total, not adult) had been fully vaccinated by the halfway point of the year, and in the same period the fully vaccinated accounted for 1.2% of covid deaths. And that includes people who'd been infected before they got their jabs.Well, for example, the claimed efficacy of the Pfizer jab is 95%.

The Swedish problem was their care home strategy - precious little to do with wider lockdowns.Smooth pivot from "lockdowns don't make any difference, look at Sweden" to "look, similar countries that did lock down are catching up with Sweden in excess deaths", I almost didn't notice that.

The numbers I mentioned all refer to the first half of the year, genius. It's a consistent data set.Silly stat: we're way past the first half of the year.

No, vaccines are still offering extremely good general levels of protection. That's why the death rate isn't an order of magnitude higher than it is.It's a very different story now
The death rate is considerably worse than the same time last year.No, vaccines are still offering extremely good general levels of protection. That's why the death rate isn't an order of magnitude higher than it is.
