The Vetenskapsforum COVID-19 (English: "COVID-19 Science Forum") is a self organized group of 40 Swedish scientists and medical professionals.[1][2] It has been active in Swedish and foreign media, criticizing the Swedish government's approach to controlling the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden, from the position that the measures were not strict enough.[3][4][5]
Prominent members of the group include the film director and former physician Lena Einhorn and Andrew Ewing, a professor of molecular biology and chemistry and member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.[3][4][6]
Ewing received hate mail after making criticisms of the government's policies.[3]
