Nordea bank suspends two analysts after note equating COVID vaccine lockdown with prison

HELSINKI, Nov 26 Reuters -- Finland's Nordea bank NDAFI suspended two senior analysts from publishing research and is investigating how a research note equating lockdowns with prison or worse made its way onto Nordea's website.

The 1,900 word note entitled Papers please, and how to trade them! An uncertain market situation had been created by lockdownistas imposing vaccine mandates and restrictions.

It used to be two weeks to flatten the curve, but it has also developed to imprison the unvaccinated or worse, going on to imply governments had not learned lessons on human freedom after World War Two trials.

Is it true that people care about the Nuremberg trials, such as bodily integrity, informed choice, the impact on civil liberties, and so on? The note said that lockdown policies, vaccine mandates and so on do carry costs.

The note was deleted on Wednesday and Nordea said it would look into how the analysis was conducted and the process behind its publication. The two analysts will not write or publish during the review, according to Nordea's chief communicator Tuomas Forsell, as well as questions about the analysts named on the note, Martin Enlund and Andreas Steno Larsen.

There was no immediate availability for a comment by an analyst.

Forsell said the publication process varies at the bank but wouldn't comment on how and why the note criticising COVID 19 vaccine rollouts and restrictions was published on Sunday.

The note made the unsubstantiated suggestion that booster shots made people more vulnerable to infection immediately after and drove up infection rates. It said that boosting shots will give case growth a boost.

The bank said it would leave medical advice to medical experts.

Head of large corporates and institutions Martin Persson said that we have failed in this case, and we apologise for that.
