Okay so first, based on Sweden's own studies, the lack of lockdown contributed to their MUCH higher death rate , as compared to other Nordic countries who went into lockdown. They also have universal health care.
Also Sweden didn't have a President and one of its major political parties intentionally spreading misinformation about COVID and literally stopping cities and towns from engaging in mask mandates and social distancing rules.
Secondly, no the CDC did NOT "revise its death numbers". But a bunch of posts on social media- which have subsequently been taken down and which were linked to QAnon- made that erroneous claim. And no. the CDC saying that 6% of COVID deaths had no co-morbidities is not the same thing as saying COVID didn't kill 94% of those people.
And yes, our information about this brand new pandemic has been changing rapidly as we've discovered more and more, but it's INCREDIBLY contagious. That's why we went into lockdown. And pointing to the fact that lockdown is working as a reason why COVID "isn't that bad" is insane.
And by the way, the FDA revoked its emergency use authorization for HCQ for a reason. Several in fact:
My god you are a walking misinformation post. You fall for every single piece of politically motivated misinformation and just come back here and parrot those talking points without ever having verified them with non-partisan sources.FDA’s review of the available scientific evidence determined:
• The suggested dosing regimens for CQ and HCQ as detailed in the Fact Sheets are unlikely to
produce an antiviral effect.
• Earlier reports of decreased viral shedding with HCQ or CQ treatment have not been
consistently replicated and recent data from a randomized controlled trial assessing probability
of negative conversion showed no difference between HCQ and standard of care alone.
• Current U.S. treatment guidelines do not recommend the use of HCQ or CQ in hospitalized
patients with COVID-19 outside of a clinical trial, and the NIH guidelines now recommend
against such use outside of a clinical trial.
• Recent data from a large randomized controlled trial showed no evidence of benefit of HCQ
treatment in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 for mortality or other outcomes such as
hospital length of stay or need for mechanical ventilation.
And it shows.
