Loved and loathed, Sweden's anti-lockdown architect is unrepentant

As the architect of Sweden’s unorthodox response to the coronavirus pandemic, Anders Tegnell has got used to receiving death threats and being urged to resign. But he says he has no plans to step down or step back and remains convinced that, over time, the anti-lockdown strategy that has seen his country break ranks with much of the world will prove its worth. “I think a number of countries should have thought twice before taking the very drastic measure of a lockdown,” he told Reuters in an interview. “That’s what’s experimental, not the Swedish model.”
