8,000 more people died in Sweden last year than in the average for the previous five years, that's what the graph I linked to shows
There's another comparison between the deaths in 2020 and 2021 with previous years in Sweden here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-...cess_mortality
Clear spikes in April, May, and December of 2020 and January of this year
I'd be intrigued to see this research of yours
Are you saying you know better on the holocaust than the memorial at Auschwitz?
Did you not read what I said, I’ve given you some information to search now get to work, I found it so you can too. Yeah that only showed to Jan 2020, 2015-2019 is what needs to be clearly outlined also otherwise it’s no good.
I never said take my word for it, go searching yourself now, you have the internet, you have information from me now you can go see if it’s true or not.
Pretty sure I asked 5 years, not 1 year.
Everything that’s gone on points to it so I must know more surely. Love to see how they aren’t comparable.

Ah see already writing it off before even searching is why I haven’t bothered engaging, you clearly only want to believe one side of the argument and nothing else so it’s like talking to the wall even trying to debate this. You believe totally flawed data and simple statements to make you’re case which is why it doesn’t mean Jack **** to me.
Yeah tets data has compared the previous 5 years, people usually die in high numbers during the same months even in those years due to viruses like the flu, if you had data to show the previous 5 years to show that this death rate isn’t much worse maybe id believe you but you clearly don’t.
For a pandemic there does seem to be a huge effort to boost the death count…thankfully the excess death rate shows this up.
I haven’t seen where it shows Sweden’s death rate clearly from the previous years in detail, that’s what’s required here.
Except your links are a load of complete ********.
I don’t really give a **** if you believe me or not, all I’m trying trying to do is bring common sense to the table and all you are bringing is …well nonsense really.

Why are my links a load of complete ********?
The BBC, Reuters, the HSE, the Irish Times - why are these ********? Why is the data flawed and simplistic?
You have to give a reason for your views. Because otherwise, I'm calling bull**** on your claim of bull****. And I'm believing the BBC, the HSE, my own eyes when I see India run out of ****ing medical oxygen due to covid treatments.

I think one of the most interesting things to come out of the Robinson debate is the vastly different approach of the Irish public and media to what has been happening in the UK. There's a reason we have such a high vaccination rate, people have really responded to the calls for personal responsibility and listened to the medical advice, the anti vax conspiracy groups have remained a tiny fringe. In the UK and elsewhere Robinson wouldn't have been questioned on his stance at all, and he presumably expected the same, not realising how strongly pro-vaccine we are. Ironically, of the unvaccinated players in the squad, Robinson is probably the least worrying, as he's had the virus twice his natural immunity should be very high and as has been pointed out he meets all the requirements for an EU travel cert, indoor dining etc. as it is. If any player could be excused from not getting it now (with the risk of a short term impact from the vaccine disrupting his fitness) it's Robinson. It's laudable how well the Irish public have responded and taken up the vaccine and we've seen domestic clubs as well as other professional sports here confirming very high uptake, hopefully that might hit home with some of the other reluctant players in the national squad now.

I work with people in India on a daily basis. When things were bad there with the Delta variant the stuff I was hearing on a daily basis was heart wrenching. Most of the folks who work for the company were fine- the company went all out to look after them and their families, getting treatment for them, oxygen, vaccines, removing all work pressure and even giving loans to help people through were needed. But still one of our staff died and a huge number were infected, in one case half a team was out at the same time. Many many more lost friends and in several cases whole families died in the most awful of circumstances. Long Covid remains an issue for some, including one man who was young and a health fanatic.
We are very fortunate here that whatever mistakes we made along the way, we never got to a stage where we were overwhelmed. That makes complacency about Covid a lot easier of course. But the vast, vast majority of the population pulled together, the authorities generally were competent in their response and people did not embrace misinformation like they did elsewhere. And that's a damn good thing.

110% correct, we are luckily to be both educated and non-selfish ****s.
So choosing to ignore the undeniable data is outrageous.
Callum Robinson and every other anti-vax idiots in our squad, who are wealthy healthy young men and to turn around and to risk the most vulnerable people in our society... is quite frankly the most un-Irish thing I've ever seen.. We protect our vulnerable that is who we are. we don't take a view from the internet and "unwittingly" kill an innocent person or people.
Would it be unreasonable to charge say €1000 per day to unvaccinated people in hospital and €5000 for those in ICU unless they had a MEDICAL (according to Medical doctors) reason for not taking the vaccine. Given not taking the vaccine dramatically increases your chances of needing to be hospitalized not taking one should have an implication.
If you leave your keys in the car and its stolen your insurance company wont pay out as you could reasonably have avoided the theft by taking action.
Same principal.
My experience with idiots is you have to make things really simple and really painful to make them concentrate and understand.
If its just a debate then facts dont matter to these people.
It's effectively what they're doing in Israel I think
And Delta Airlines are doing something similar.
Don't see any problems with it. People have to have some sort of responsibility for their decisions.
Something tells me Callum Robinson does not give two hoots what people thinks of what he decides to do with is body. The Irish management were free to pick him or not pick him. They chose to pick him.
Yes. But none of that challenges the ignorance of his actions, nor the validity of people's complaints about his behaviour.
Which is what we were talking about
To play football I guess.
But again, that doesn't challenge the ignorance of his actions, nor the validity of people's complaints about his behaviour.
Funny how the Irish Management is picking so many players ( apparently there are a number in the squad not vaccinated ) that are Not Vaxxed.
