Why Lockdowns Are The Wrong Policy

Swedish Expert – Professor Johan Giesecke

Professor Johan Giesecke, one of the world’s most senior epidemiologists, advisor to the Swedish Government (he hired Anders Tegnell who is currently directing Swedish strategy), the first Chief Scientist of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, and an advisor to the director general of the WHO, lays out with typically Swedish bluntness why he thinks:

UK policy on lockdown and other European countries are not evidence-based

The correct policy is to protect the old and the frail only – This will eventually lead to herd immunity as a “by-product”.

The flattening of the curve is due to the most vulnerable dying first as much as the lockdown

The results will eventually be similar for all countries – Covid-19 is a “mild disease” and similar to the flu, and it was the novelty of the disease that scared people. Please see: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/16/israeli-study-reveals-covid19-lockdown-was-pointless/

The actual fatality rate of Covid-19 is the region of 0.1%. Please see: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/06/wheres-the-evidence-supporting-the-drastic-measures-against-covid-19/

At least 50% of the population of both the UK and Sweden will be shown to have already had the disease when mass antibody testing becomes available.

Johan Giesecke says that this conversation (about criticisms of the Swedish model) should happen one year from now. Other countries are merely dodging the virus. Please see: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/09/epidemiologist-coronavirus-could-be-exterminated-if-lockdowns-lifted/

They can’t escape it for ever. Johan Giesecke has three criticisms of Western scientists:

they are not taking an evidence-based approach
Neil Ferguson’s model is terrible + not even peer reviewed
mortality from the virus is much, much lower than 2%

Johan believes that in the end deaths in most options will be very similar but the damage done to societies by lockdowns would be in some cases irreversible. See http://swarnabharat.in/pandemic for a group in India’s evidence-based and risk-based approach that is consistent also with liberty and human rights.
