Sweden: The Control Group That Never Was

One nation stood athwart the lockdown madness that infested the entire civilized world to some degree—Sweden.

How the nation that gave us Greta Thunberg’s magical mystery tour of left-wing pseudo-religion—not-so-cleverly camouflaged as “climate science”—ended up being the greatest control group in the history of Western civilization is anyone’s guess. Maybe it’s as simple as the statists in Sweden, perhaps Europe’s most secular and left-wing nation, already have all the power they want so they don’t need to worry about letting a good crisis go to waste? They never needed to politicize this virus as a will to power, they already had it, so no point destroying your own country if you don’t have to?

Regardless of motivation, hordes of American leftists who previously viewed Sweden as the model for the US to emulate have suddenly forgotten it actually exists. On the other hand, multitudes of conservatives and libertarians suddenly found themselves googling the prospect of relocating there. Politics makes for strange bedfellows, indeed.

But let’s set the politics aside, and just look at the hard data, shall we? As far as the authors of this book are concerned, the truth is its own reward. So what does the truth say—did Sweden make the right call in defying the lockdown madness that swept the globe, by instead keeping its country mostly open despite the presence of coronavirus?

The authors of this book have combined for more than a quarter-century of experience covering and/or analyzing current events, and we have never seen a subject victimized by more gaslighting than Sweden and coronavirus. Sweden was like if hydroxychloroquine and Donald Trump had a baby. All the same people with an abnormally zealous desire for them both to fail projected their combined scorn upon poor Sweden. We personally witnessed numerous outright lies and distortions of Sweden’s data with our own eyes during this pandemic.

And apparently at least some of it was coordinated. Two Swedish investigative media groups uncovered a closed Facebook group of two hundred–plus academics, thought leaders, researchers, and others who were conspiring about how to manifest their shared disdain for Sweden’s defiance into critical messaging for distribution in global media.93 This group reportedly had three main goals: (1) to influence the Swedish government’s coronavirus policy; (2) to criticize positive media coverage of Sweden’s coronavirus policy; (3) to damage Sweden’s image around the world, as well as those who were formulating its coronavirus policy. Because nothing says you have the better argument quite like declaring an intifada.

Of course, they only hate ’cause they ain’t you, as the kids say today. If Sweden’s approach were a miserable failure, there would be no reason to organize the smearing of it. The results would speak for themselves and the country’s leaders would be shamed in front of the world.
