Headline doesn’t exactly match the content. He seems to be an honest scientist. Of course there were mistakes where adjustments can be made for any future outbreak.

Key points he made.

quote:
Dr Tegnell, who is Sweden's state epidemiologist and in charge of the country's response to Covid-19, told BBC News in April that the high death toll was mainly because homes for the elderly had been unable to keep the disease out, although he emphasised that "does not disqualify our strategy as a whole".

Now he has told Swedish public radio: "If we were to encounter the same disease again, knowing exactly what we know about it today, I think we would settle on doing something in between what Sweden did and what the rest of the world has done."

quote:
However, he was unclear what Sweden should have done differently and at a press conference later on Wednesday later he underlined that "we basically still think that is the right strategy for Sweden".

Not surprising. There are a large number of vested interests who are terrified of what Sweden has done. If over the long term Sweden does better or not materially worse that the shutdown countries, the entire shutdown sham will be exposed for what it is.

In fact, about 3/4 of Sweden's deaths are nursing home deaths. They screwed that up just like most of the rest of the world. But by and large their approach was the correct one. That is being confirmed by the fact that much of the world is adopting that approach (even if they won't come out and say it).
