Sweden's approach to Covid-19, with no strict lockdown measures, has drawn attention due to its low excess mortality rates compared to Finland and Norway. Factors such as Vitamin D supplementation, age, weight, and ability to isolate are believed to have contributed to Sweden's success. Data across Europe supports Sweden's low total death toll, highlighting age-standardized mortality rates as a key metric.
It's not just in the UK where the government ignored the harms of lockdown. It's good to see movement in the opinion of the scientific community on this vital topic. A very interesting story in @Telegraph by @sarahknapton. 1/2 https://t.co/ioqGcfZXr2

Swedes routinely supplement with Vitamin D because the sun doesn't get it done there. We know Vitamin D has a strong survival correlation. Also look at age, weight, and ability to isolate (which I hear is high). https://t.co/DsbB71mpP3
Across Europe, Sweden saw lowest total death during and after Covid The data shows the relative cumulative age-standardized mortality rate, meaning it controls for non-modifiable population characteristics, such as the age structure and size of differing populations, so that… https://t.co/8ZobfWmIj2
1/ New peer-reviewed: “The Covid-19 lesson from Sweden: Don’t lock down” “Finland & Norway, w/ lowest avg lockdown rate show lowest excess mortality—displaying a negative excess mortality rate. Sweden.. has one of lowest cumulative excess mortality rates” https://t.co/Kyx3MXMuJD
