Dr Anders Tegnell, Sweden's former state epidemiologist who spearheaded plans that saw no lockdowns or school closures, said the country was not a 'libertarian paradise'.
Dr Anders Tegnell'S plans saw no lockdowns, school closures or mask mandates. But he said the country was not a 'libertarian paradise' or a 'passive approach'Sweden's anti-lockdown Covid policy was incorrectly viewed as a 'passive approach', according to the chief architect of the controversial approach.
Sweden became an international outlier in 2020 when it refused to follow the rest of the world in shutting down society to curb the virus' spread. Instead, its government relied on citizens' sense of civic duty to protect the population. Among its stricter measures included a ban on visits to elderly care homes and limits on the number of people attending public gatherings.
He became a cult figure in the country, with people getting tattoos of his face and waving banners with his name. As a result, Dr Tegnell emerged as the figurehead of Sweden's controversial and less strict strategy. The epidemiologist thought it would be easier to care for the elderly in Sweden than elsewhere in Europe, because they were all gathered together in one place.In his book, Tegnell calls it a 'catastrophic situation.'
At a peak in January 2021, the UK logged 575 hospitalisations per million, while Sweden spiked at 263 per million For comparison, the UK has logged 3,421 per million, while the US is only slightly behind at 3,365 per million. 'It wasn't my role to judge,' he continues. 'But in all the research, I couldn't find any evidence that it made a difference for the better.'
