"Sebastian Rushworth M.D." clearly states at the beginning of his internet post that it's anecdotal, even though his bio suggests he's trying to correct internet misinformation with "science". It absolutely shouldn't be censored. I mean, if I was considering taking this guy's medical advice - I'd want to know about this.

I agree with most of the things in this article, but it smells an awful lot like a planted piece.

The name is very unusual for a Swedish person, I can only find three people with that last name in Sweden, and none of them has the first name Sebastian.

The image of him in a gas mask is vague enough that you can't identify the person based on that.

The blog is a hosted wordpress that only has a couple of articles going back a few days.

The English is very good, I didn't see a single Swedishism, which makes it less likely the writer is actually Swedish.

The article talks about other kinds of deaths that are also bad, and mentions opioid deaths. That is a cause of death that is extremely rare in Sweden, but which would be familiar to an American audience. Using that as an example while talking about Swedish deaths is very odd.

So all in all this piece smells off.

Henrik I believe you are being overly suspicious. A simple call to KI or wherever he stated he worked would have brought an end to that.

That would not guarantee that the texts on Wordpress were written by a Swedish medical doctor.

I have now tried to contact him by Facebook Messenger, where he has had an account for many years. I asked if he wrote those texts on Wordpress.

And he confirmed that it is him on the Wordpress site.

Also the domain was registered 3 days ago (August 6th). An earlier version, doctorseb.com (which redirects to the website) was registered July 20th.

I found him after searching for 30 secs. Try using ratsit.se.

[henrikschroder]

Right, forgot about Ratsit.

I found him on LinkedIn as well, so, ok, it's a real person.
