In March 2020 it became clear that the Swedish corona strategy was going to be very different from most of the rest of the world. Somewhat surprisingly, very little opposition or critique of the approach existed inside Sweden, neither from the political opposition, nor from the media or the general public. For different reasons I early on got engaged with a group of other scientists, “Vetenskapsforum Covid19”, who since 2020 have written over 100 articles in Sweden and abroad, analyzing and criticizing the strategy of the Swedish health authority and government. In this lecture I will present my personal impressions and analysis of what happened in Sweden during the first Corona years.
