Newly released genetic data gathered from a live food market in Wuhan has linked Covid-19 with raccoon dogs, adding weight to the theory that infected animals sold at the site started the coronavirus pandemic, researchers involved in the work say.
Who'd have thunk it!
Not this bloke..
For a week, major media have been hyping the "stongest evidence yet" on COVID origins
Preprint appeared tonight...and turns out to be a risibly thin, nearly content-free, non-story written by stooges who falsely claimed "incontrovertible evidence" last year

I think the big lesson from all this is that people should be allowed to question the benefit of masks, vaccines, origin of the virus, lockdowns etc without being dismissed or condemned.
It's still the case that the country that had no real lockdowns had a far better death rate than many who didn't, and it does seem that the virus could have leaked from a lab and that masks did very little. I have no issue with the vaccine, but I can understand why some would.
Covid has ruined so much for me. I think questioning much of what we went along with is really important. Indeed, almost our job as citizens.
What this Sweden?

Gosh, and there was I thinking I was in your ignore club.
So the details about Sweden having a far higher death rate than comparative Nordic countries before they introduced similar restrictions as their neighbours before vaccines came into effect removing their necessity were incorrect then?
Sweden had 24k Covid deaths with a population of 10m.
Norway had 5k Covid deaths with a population of 5m.
Finland had 9k Covid deaths with a population of 5m.
The most comparable countries to Sweden in terms of wealth, populations, climate, social and cultural norms, etc, had notably lower death rates.
This thread explains it

Somehow, I didn’t for one second think you would agree with anything that’s against the narrative, that being said it’s clear that the long term effects of lockdown on the healthy population is nothing more than disastrous both in terms of the economy and social / personal development,especially in young children.
I appreciate you are more than likely in the over 60 vulnerable group so you will naturally think differently.
Perhaps this one will help

Nothing to do with narrative. The tweet you posted gave a distorted explanation for the same thing. More Swedes per capita died in the time before lockdowns were imposed there then vaccines were introduced than in comparable countries.
I don't understand what the second tweet is meant to show? There are a couple of lines on graphs stating covid deaths and excess deaths for a nine month period. Can you explain what it is proving?
Apparently Sweden also had a significant amount of deaths in care homes which may have not actually had anything to do with Covid ( but that’s another debate ) Many people died “with Covid” which would have inflated the figures.
What about this one https://reason.com/volokh/2023/01/10...covid-arrived/
Yes I have read the post Covid reports on Sweden. I guess no-one will ever know what death statistics would have looked like if they hadn't locked down before vaccines were made available to save many more lives.
I still don't get the previous tweet though so happy for you to explain how it fits in the conversation.
I work for a Swedish company, and know many Swedes.
most I've spoken to wish that had locked down sooner than they eventually did.
This Sweden
Sweden's no-lockdown COVID strategy was broadly correct, commission suggests
