Sweden Proves the Lockdown Was Unnecessary

TRANSCRIPT EXCERPT
RUSH: Does somebody out there remember the coronavirus? Do you remember how we had to be locked down for two or three months out there because otherwise the hospitals would be overrun? Well, we had to be locked down to save ourselves. We’ve had to be locked down because we thought we were gonna die! We had to be locked down, making sure… We had to flatten the curve, that we didn’t overwhelm the hospitals.
Remember all that? We had to destroy the economy! We had to put 40 million people out of work. Remember all that? All so millions of people would not die. Well, the main fearmonger — the man responsible for the model that world leaders cited as their excuse to shut down their countries, including in this country — is this Neil Ferguson guy from the U.K.
Remember, he’s the guy that first published the model that said 2.2 million people will die — 500,000 if we engage in social distancing. But the first figure was 2.2 million if we didn’t do anything. His model has yet to be right, but everybody relied on it. Well, now this same guy says that the lockdowns ended up doing nothing, and that Sweden shows that every country would have had the same outcome whether they had locked down or not.
You got that?

RUSH: So this epidemiologist, Neil Ferguson, says essentially that these lockdowns didn’t do anything. (paraphrased) “Sweden shows that every country would have had the same outcome without the lockdowns and social distancing.” He was asked why 4,000 people had died in Sweden instead of the 90,000 he had predicted. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
This guy, Neil Ferguson’s predictions at the outset said 90,000 people in Sweden would die because they weren’t gonna lock down, and 4,000 people died. They asked him, “What happened?” He said, “Well, I think it’s an interesting question.” (snort)
