Using government force to limit freedom of people for “safety” - as if government existed to be served, rather than to serve and protect the rights of free citizens.

In Sweden where we have no lockdown or similar there are no more deaths this year than other years, clearly showing that forcing people to lock down is not only immoral, but also inefficient.

Article in English but statistics from the public statistics bureau (SCB).

To be clear, this is the same country that banned events of more than eight people.

Only very recently, unlike the statistics mentioned which cover every month of the year.

It can also not be moral to use force to stop free people from meeting, as my government now intends to do
