“The Swedish Experiment” – A Covid strategy unlike any other
Sweden’s approach to the covid pandemic has received scathing criticism from domestic and foreign sources alike. Was it a success or a giant failure? Did the authorities play Russian roulette with the lives of its citizens? Close to three years later we look into what the science has to say and what actually happened.
Pontus Böckman
Pontus’ (@Bockmanp, pontus@theesp.eu) educational background is in finance, but he has always had a great interest in history, sci-fi and popular science. He discovered the skeptics movement in 2010 and soon thereafter became deeply involved in local activism, such as organizing ‘Skeptics in the Pub’ and giving lectures on skepticism in local schools. In 2013 he co-founded and became president of the local south branch of the national Swedish Skeptics Society (“Vetenskap och Folkbildning” or VoF). In 2014 he was appointed to the national board of VoF, and was elected President in 2018.
Since 2017 he is also a board member of the European Council of Skeptical Organisations. He lives in Malmö in the south of Sweden where he runs the local ‘Skeptics in the Pub’ events, occasionally hosting international speakers as well. He has also given several talks at international events and appeared on various other podcasts.
