The strategy of Sweden against Covid it was a “failure”. This was confirmed by a scientific study conducted two years after the initial infections and published via Nature.com in the journal Humanities & Social Sciences Communications. According to the report, prepared by a team of scientists, journalists and doctors, Sweden was wellarmed to prevent the Covid19 pandemic from getting serious. However, over the course of 2020, the country registered Death rates from the SarsCoV2 virus are ten times higher than in neighboring Norway.

“If Sweden wants to do better in future pandemics so the publication summarizes the scientific method must be restored, including within the Public Health Agency. It would probably make a big difference if a separate and independent institute for infectious disease control were newly created. We recommend Sweden to start a selfcritical process on its political culture and the lack of accountability of decisionmakers to avoid future failures, as was the case with the COVID19 pandemic.”
