| That's actually reassuring. | |
| So it's not so much that the medical school taught you what was wrong, as the evidence will change within five years. | |
| I think that's the best interpretation. | |
| Medical schools are always a bit behind, so they're kind of teaching you what was the cutting edge 20 years ago. | |
| So I guess that's also part of it. | |
| What you're learning in medical school, by the time you're learning it, it's already often outdated because science has already moved on and the medical schools are always struggling to catch up. | |
| All right. | |
| I buy that, and that's the positive side. | |
| What about the negative side? | |
| How often medical authorities have been wrong on major issues? | |
| And, of course, I'm specifically referring to the response outside of Sweden. | |
| We'll talk about the Swedish response momentarily. | |
| How do you account for that, the medical authorities' responses around the world that you believe were in error? | |
| Well, I think that people get... | |
| Well, I think there are a lot of reasons for this, and I think it's... | |
| Partly political. | |
| And when it comes to COVID, I think the politicians have been given a lot of say in what the truth is and what's right and what's wrong. | |
| And for whatever reason, I mean, public health officials, they stand behind what the politicians say because the politicians are their bosses. | |
| But when it comes to COVID, doctors and scientists on the ground have also largely gone with this official paradigm. | |
| I can't say exactly why that is. | |
| I mean, most doctors don't look at the science directly. | |
| Actually, most doctors don't have time to sit and pore over studies. | |
| So at some point, you just have to decide who you trust. | |
| And the easy solution is to trust what the authorities are telling you. | |
| And I think that's probably the main reason why most doctors have gone with the main paradigms when it comes to COVID. | |
| Yeah, because they follow the authorities. | |
| So my question is, why are medical authorities, look, I mean, let's get specific here. | |
| Let's begin with lockdowns. | |
| Sweden did not lock down, for all intents and purposes, anywhere near like the rest of the world. | |
| So, was Sweden right or wrong? | |
| I think Sweden did the right thing personally. | |
| I think what happened was that Sweden followed what the WHO had decided beforehand was The correct way to handle a respiratory viral pandemic. | |
| All right, hold on one moment, Dr. Rushworth, in Sweden. |
