The paper argues that Sweden didn't get it right but could have easily gotten a better result by incorporating scientific methods better into their public health approach.

>By scientific evidence, in the context of this paper, we refer to the advice of international authorities in infection control (including the World Health Organisation, (European) Centres for Disease Control and Prevention), and the body of peer-reviewed scientific papers.

It's ludicrous. The whole thing is thinly veiled opinion piece.

It boggles my mind how far "science" as a term has been degraded and driven 8 feet under.
