Better Outcomes in Unmasked Sweden than Vaccine Passport Scotland

November 18, 2021 By Richard C. Young

Do restrictive pandemic responses work? On Mercola.com, Dr. Joseph Mercola discusses a documentary comparing the COVID-19 response in two different countries; Sweden, where a hands-off approach was taken, and Scotland, where draconian measures were implemented. He writes (abridged):

  • In a short documentary, CAN Films explored pandemic outcomes in Scotland, which began requiring vaccine passports October 1, 2021, with those of Sweden, which rejected forced lockdowns in favor of voluntary measures
  • With half the population of Sweden, Scotland scored a higher excess death rate for 2020, with much more restrictive pandemic responses
  • Sweden fared better than Scotland on many pandemic outcome measures, including excess deaths, weight gain, alcohol-related deaths, inflation and economic viability
  • Sweden did not mandate face masks at any point during the pandemic and, in July 2021, also dropped their “vague recommendation” to wear one at all
  • Scotland implemented a vaccine passport requirement October 1, 2021; backlash from hospitality and other groups has ensued.
