Hey, poor skier, Mark, first gear dude! Maliskadir! Hey, more Thor skier, bear for- What, what, what? Skier! Ha! Yes, good horse, this horned the cool concaiton! It's here to horn the green! It's here to fork the skier, miss curve the hood! It's here to fork! Hi, everybody, it's Marie Brassana in Paris! Today's video is going to be about what's happening in Sweden at the moment. Sweden has been a lot more loose about the lockdown situation, encouraging their citizens to try to use the measures that everybody's been talking about, but they haven't made it as drastic, for example, as here in France or Italy or other countries around the world. Sweden has come out and said, look, our statistics are similar to other countries statistics, even though we haven't been as restrictive with our measures. So I just wanted to look into this a little bit more, so I just tried to search Sweden, look at the headlines that come up first of all. And this is duck duck go, which is quickly becoming a Google clone. We used to use duck duck go to avoid using Google and they don't track you and all this stuff, but the results that I'm seeing in the recent past seem to mirror exactly what Google is showing. So anyway, so searching Sweden in coronavirus, we get things like Sweden says coronavirus approach has worked. The numbers show a different story, right? That's CNN. You got to put that negative spin on it, even when things could be positive. No, no, no, no, no, be afraid. Be very, very afraid. From Fox, Sweden cracks down on overcrowded bars as coronavirus cases rise. Sweden adopts different approach to battling coronavirus tells us NBC news. So you go down the list, you go down the list, oh, you see something like, oh, in Sweden, the young are dancing at a distance amid growing fears about fatal coronavirus. This is a new coronavirus misstep. Oh God, they're dancing. Right. Here's another one from WCVB, a channel in Boston, Massachusetts merger. Sweden says it's coronavirus approach has worked. The numbers suggest a different story. What did CNN say? Sweden says it's coronavirus approach has worked. The numbers show a different story. Interesting. So CNN says the numbers show a different story. And WCVB in Boston says the numbers suggest a different story. Let's just do a quick, quick thing. I'm just curious to see. Let's just open both of these articles because I'm pretty sure that they're going to be exactly the same articles. Let's just look. Oh, sorry, this content is not available in your region. Oh, okay, so what are we going to do here, guys? I hope you've learned by now. If you've been watching my channel, we're going to go visit our friend. Let's go visit our friend. Copy paste, hit enter, and let's see if our friend can help us with this. This page is available on the web. Save it. Yes, please. Here we go. Bingo. Sweden says it's coronavirus approach has worked. The numbers suggest a different story. Who's writing this by Emma Reynolds? Who wrote the other one? Who wrote the other one? By Emma Reynolds for CNN. Emma Reynolds, she gets around by Emma Reynolds, but we don't identify her as coming from anywhere. We're just going to assume that Emma Reynolds works for WCB in Boston, right? An ABC affiliate. Back in the day when I worked in media, you had an affiliation with one of the larger networks to help get information, help get the stories, additional content to run in the dead of night. We'd get these feeds that we could run when no one was listening. So here there's some sort of link to CNN. So they are coming clean about CNN on the WCB website. That's just bizarre. They're an ABC affiliate, but yet they're going to run CNN content. So anyway, and you can see how they tried it. They someone consciously changed a word. But let's see if the story is identical. Sweden has been an outlier during the coronavirus outbreak. Sweden has been an outlier during the coronavirus outbreak. The country has not joined many of its European neighbors in imposing strict limits on citizens' lives. The country has not joined many of its European neighbors in imposing strict limits on citizens' lives. But what I did want to show you is how there's nothing really sounding extremely positive, even though it's positive. I did find one article that sort of caught my eye, but it was weighed down in the list. So we have coronavirus cases increase in Sweden after resistance to complete lockdown. I wanted to just take a look at that. Here is that article from this media conglomerate in India. So, coronavirus cases increase in Sweden after quote unquote resistance to complete lockdown. While Sweden claims that its resistance to lockdown has worked, the country's coronavirus data has exposed the loopholes its strategy to curb COVID-19 pandemic. And for those paying attention as I read you that sentence, you've just realized that that's not even a sentence. That is not a complete sentence. I'll just throw in a little side note here. Lots of news outlets are using AI to write their own news stories. Keep that in mind. A lot of the news stories write themselves. So, anyway, so while Sweden claims that its resistance to lockdown has worked, meaning the actual country is saying good job, guys. The country's coronavirus data has exposed problems, but we all know that the coronavirus data is coming from the Johns Hopkins modeling data. Another strange thing, it was accused of creating quote unquote herd immunities and criticized for not imposing a strict lockdown enforced by law. Now, right there, isn't that contradictory? Isn't that supposed to be the goal? Don't they want herd immunity? Meaning, enough people have been exposed to whatever heinous health risk is out there that you've developed your own immunity to it. Isn't that what we want? If you look at the sentence again, it was accused of creating herd immunities. Oh, for heaven's sake. Isn't that strange? Alright, herd immunity occurs when a large enough percentage of a population becomes immune to a virus, either through infection or vaccination, thus preventing further spread throughout the group. So that would be, shall we say, a good thing? Right, it just looks like they pull in these prefabricated sentences. And this obviously doesn't make any sense. Doesn't make any sense. But the best is still yet to come in this article. So if we look down here, it says Swedish Minister for Health and Social Affairs said one of the main concerns now in Sweden is to strengthen the protection for those living in care homes for older people. You always want to make sure that the older people and fragile people are taking care of. So there's nothing wrong with that. She also justified the measures taken by saying that it was still far too early to draw any firm conclusions as to the effectiveness of the measures taken in Sweden. Fair enough. However, as a result of the controversial approach adopted by the country, the death toll in Sweden has now risen significantly higher than any other countries in Europe. Reaching more than 21 per 100,000 people according to the figures from who? From the Johns Hopkins University. They are everywhere. They are the masters of the data. By contrast, Denmark has recorded more than seven deaths per 100,000 people and both Norway and Finland less than four. I don't know. Is it just me that if you're going to say more than seven deaths? Could you call that would that be eight? Eight deaths? Would it be nine? What is more than seven? Seven point three deaths? Right? That the way they even report these numbers just is bizarre to me. And then in both Norway and Finland less than four. Would that be three? Would it be two? It's a statistic. Give us the number. Really what I wanted to point out is let's do the math people. If we take a hundred thousand people and we want to know what percent 21 is. We multiply 21 by 100 and we divide by a hundred thousand and we get zero point zero to one. Okay? That is not even one percent. That is 21% of one percent. Okay? Think about that. 21% of one percent of a hundred thousand people died. And again, this is all based on our friends at the Johns Hopkins University. So here is that famous that famous Johns Hopkins map. Something else I just want to remind you people about when we're looking at these statistics from the Johns Hopkins University. You know, beware of the fine print. Well, here's the fine print way down at the bottom here. Pointed this out in my other videos. Data sources. The who? Who? The who? The CDC? The ECDC. That are all these different groups. Okay? But what's what's the most glaring in this thing is again, this is the beginning of the fine print. We have to go all the way down to here in the fine print and we see the definition confirmed cases include presumptive positive cases and probable cases in accordance with CDC guidelines. Death totals in the US include confirmed and probable in accordance with CDC guidelines. Right there at the heart of this whole thing is fake data. Because if you call something confirmed, it generally means it was what it was confirmed verified shown to be true to give you a few definitions of what confirmed generally means. But not here confirmed means it could be maybe it was maybe it wasn't we're going to count it as it was just because that's how we play this game. So this is how many people have died supposedly because of this this heinous virus and you see that the number is shockingly, shockingly small. So that gave me the idea to go check out the statistics in Sweden for other years to see how many people die in a normal situation. I tried to find some official statistics and I found this. Okay, statistics on causes of death. But I wanted causes of death for this and other years so I when I clicked this I'm just going to do it again live with you guys when I click this because I'm also trying to teach you guys how to do what I do how to think think critically. I think out of the box think logically so oh the page doesn't exist. So what do you do we take the page and we go visit our friend again and you can see that we've got some information there is a page there where there is no page here our friend has found it for us. Okay, and then I clicked on this link here to get to the statistical database in English. I'll just do it again live with you here so you can see what what this turns up. We're visiting our friend and here is what the page looks like so I decided I would look up cause of death. So when I click on that look what we get we get this whole thing where we can we can select all causes of death we can select you know all the different things that people died of we can select the regions we can select the age groups that their gender. You can select number of deaths you can select deaths per 100,000 which is what we just saw over here was the number that they were giving 21 people per 100,000. So when I tried to do this there was like no way to send the thing like there was no go get the data button right so it says right here mark your selection and press the view results button but there was no review the results button. So what did I do I just grabbed this link thanks to our friend and I just put it in here I put it in here. Okay, and it didn't work so I just removed the cause of death part I'm showing you all my little tips and tricks and secrets of how to do your research and it still didn't work. So I clicked English and it got a little better and then I click stats statistics and data and I got a page this was getting better and it says here are statistical database in English so I said okay well let's try that. Okay, and here we go again cause of death and bingo here we go and there's the view results button so I was very happy about that and that is how from there I was able to choose all causes of death all across Sweden I want all the age groups please yes show them separately I want to know if men and women together and we're going to do number of deaths I want both of those statistics and I just chose 2009 and 2008. Right and then we hit view results so what have we got here so we start to see granted this is an entire year right this is for the year 2018 for the year 20 or 2009 right to make it easier to see we can turn it into a bar chart and not surprisingly who is dying the most the elderly. There's nothing mysterious about what's going on here and if we want to go and we want to look at the number of deaths per 100,000 right let's go back to that table table view so this is cause of death statistics number of deaths per 100,000 all causes of death combined right so in 2018 you had for the little kids 50 per 100,000. Let's go look through here for the 30s mid 30 young 30s 55 per 100,000 62 as we go up the line 86 128 to 119 getting up into the early 60s 637 per 100,000, 173, the 70s early 70s 1733 late 70s almost 3000 early 80s almost 5600 and over 80 they've got 15,000 415 deaths so if we look at this number of deaths 21 deaths per 100,000 people and we come back here and we look at these numbers 21 is like nothing. It's essentially nothing. This was a video about how trying to find anything about Sweden which apparently sounds positive is the articles getting a negative spin on it. We see how the media takes one article and it just is used in multiple locations. When we actually look at the article it's bizarrely written in this particular case because we know that AI is being used to write articles. When we further study the statistics we get down here and we look at the statistics that are so horrible 21 people per 100,000 people which means it's 21% of 1% of people. And then we go and we look at the famous statistics map and we look at the fine print we see that confirmed doesn't even mean confirmed. Right which is the basis for all of this insanity that they're making us live. And when we look at the average statistics for Sweden we see that the page has gone missing but with our good friend we know how to get that page. Right and this is the working page and when we actually get down right into it and we look at the statistics for the year 2018 this is what we got. Old people die. You know why? Because they've already lived their lives. Okay let's just switch it to 2009. And not surprisingly it's exactly the same. So if we just do this the numbers of deaths per 100,000 and we turn that into a bar chart. Look at these numbers. In a regular year look at the numbers per 100,000 they start at 67 and they just by age group they just increase and they increase and they increase until they get to 6,292 deaths per 100,000 people. No the last one is over 15,000 per 100,000. Look at how the sentence is written. However as a result of the controversial approach the death toll in Sweden has now risen significantly higher than many other countries in Europe reaching more than 21 per 100,000 people. Come on. Don't be blinded by the BS people. Do the math. Pull out your little calculator and type in the little equation to figure out what that represents. Go do your research. Look at the data. Look at the statistics. Numbers of death per 100,000 people all causes of death combined for all the age groups 21 is nothing. That's it. Seribisana in Paris and a little kiss back soon.
