The aim is to outline the underlying epidemiological thinking and mentality in post-materialist and postmodern Sweden behind the Swedish strategy. The aim is not to investigate the handling of the pandemic in Sweden in the long-run. Overconfidence in herd immunity, overconfidence in individual responsibility in a pandemic needing community-centered approaches, overconfidence in evidence-based medicine and neglect to coordinate with the WHO and other countries may be associated with post-materialist values and postmodernism including opposition against modern authority, rationality and science, and also an anti-traditionalist stance towards older generations. COVID-19 epidemiology and postmodernism may be a dangerous combination.
目的是概述瑞典战略背后后物质主义和后现代瑞典的潜在流行病学思维和心态。目的不是从长远角度调查瑞典对疫情的应对。对群体免疫过度自信,在需要以社区为中心方法的疫情中对个人责任过度自信,对循证医学过度自信,以及忽视与世界卫生组织和其他国家协调,可能与后物质主义价值观和后现代主义有关,包括反对现代权威、理性和科学,以及对老一辈的反传统主义立场。新冠疫情流行病学和后现代主义可能是一个危险的组合。
