In Sweden, 10% of healthy life years have been lost since the pandemic began.

That’s one out of every ten years gone.

Since the pandemic began, healthy life years have declined in every Scandinavian country.

A scenario showing how disease-related deaths among 5-9 year olds could evolve if current growth continues:
- within about 10 years, the number of disease-related deaths among 5-9 year olds could reach levels similar to those currently seen among 40-44 year olds

- the cancers shown in post 1/x (bright red in this chart) account for 40% of the increase in disease-related deaths among 5-9 year olds in 2024

First, a total view.
- disease-related deaths account for roughly 75% of all deaths of 5-9 year olds, and are showing strong growth
- the cancers in the above chart represent 22% of all disease-related deaths of 5-9 year olds in 2024

Mycosis-related deaths in Sweden have grown by an average of 19% per year since 2019 in the total population

Bar chart showing causes of death per 100,000 among children aged 5–9 in Sweden from 1997 to 2024. The chart highlights causes with the largest absolute increase in 2023–2024 compared with the 1997–2019 average. Earlier years show generally low and fluctuating mortality levels. A clear rise appears in 2023 and especially 2024, when the total height of the stacked bar reaches the highest level in the series. Most of the increase is driven by cancer diagnoses within ICD-10 group C00–D48. The largest contributors include malignant neoplasms of bone and articular cartilage (C41 and C40), diffuse non-Hodgkin lymphoma (C83), leukaemia of unspecified cell type (C95), malignant neoplasm of adrenal gland (C74), and malignant neoplasm of testis (C62). In the stacked bars for 2023–2024, bone cancers form the largest segment, with additional contributions from lymphoma, leukaemia, and smaller segments from adrenal and testicular cancers. Earlier years in the chart show occasional smaller spikes for individual cancers, but none reach the combined height seen in 2024. The visualization emphasizes that a relatively small number of cancer types account for most of the recent increase in mortality within this age group. The chart notes that in 2024 the listed causes (ranked 1–19) account for 69.2% of deaths associated with diseases in ICD-10 groups C00–D48 among 5–9-year-olds, and 22.1% of all disease-related deaths (A00–U99). Ill-defined causes (R99) and COVID-19 (U07) are excluded. Source: Socialstyrelsen cause-of-death database. Chart by @jukka235, dated 8 March 2026.

When the above causes are grouped into ICD-10 level 2 groups, the following groups are showing largest absolute gains among 15-19 year olds:
- eye, brain and central nervous system related cancers (C69-C72)
- cancers of mesothelial and soft tissue (C45-C50)
- bone cancers (C40-C41)
5/x

Cancer-related deaths accounted for 28% of all disease-related deaths among 15-19 year olds in 2024 and grew at an average rate of 9.0% during 2021-2024. During the same period, the 7 fastest-growing cancers increased much faster (at an average rate of 53%).

This serves two purposes:
– coronavirus is not blamed for any symptoms. Everything is "back to normal". Good for business. They don't care about you.
– the government can avoid paying compensation as symptoms are deemed to be between your ears (and not real symptoms)

Cancer-related deaths of 15-19 year olds in Sweden:
- a steady rise from 2021 onwards
- brain and central nervous system cancers dominate the increase
- bone and connective tissue cancers are rising strongly

Here is the total picture. Among 15-19 year olds, cancer-related causes of death showing growth (bright red colour) now represent 93% of all cancers, and 28% of all disease related deaths.

Re this, I checked:
- in Helsinki, 2 out of 3 ovens have been out of use. Of these, one is already back and the other one expected to be back next week.
- In Espoo, 1 out of 2 ovens has been out of service for the past 4 years. ...

We remain committed to scientific dialogue and transparency. The burden of proof rests with the operator to demonstrate that their system will not cause environmental or public harm, and a full, independent assessment is the necessary first step.

Technologies with global environmental implications demand transparency and rigorous evaluation before deployment.

We also call on Reflect Orbital to demonstrate leadership by voluntarily commissioning a comprehensive, independent environmental impact assessment conducted by qualified experts—regardless of whether such review is required by the FCC.

Consistent with our position on satellite mega-constellations, we urge the FCC to close longstanding regulatory gaps that allow satellite deployments to proceed without environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

Given the documented risks, DarkSky opposes Reflect Orbital’s proposed project as currently conceived.

DarkSky’s work is guided by the Five Principles of Responsible Outdoor Lighting, which call for lighting that is necessary, targeted, low-level, and well-controlled. Orbital illumination systems fundamentally conflict with these principles.

5. Orbital debris hazards: Large mirrors in low Earth orbit would face high rates of micro-impacts and increase collision and debris-generation risks, adding to an already crowded orbital environment.

A constellation of such satellites would create persistent interference, and a direct beam near observatories could damage sensitive instruments.

4. Impacts on astronomical research: Scattered light from orbital illuminators would significantly increase skyglow and degrade ground-based astronomical observations.

These effects pose risks to night vision, aircraft operations, drivers, and observers using binoculars or telescopes.

3. Threats to public safety: Moving beams of light from space-based mirrors could create sudden flashes, glare, or sweeping illumination patterns if systems malfunction or mirrors fail to stow.

Reflected orbital illumination viewed through optical devices may also pose a risk of eye damage, similar to observing a partial solar eclipse.

2. Impacts on human wellbeing: Exposure to artificial light at night disrupts circadian rhythms that regulate sleep, metabolic processes, and hormonal cycles. Research links circadian disruption to a growing number of health concerns.
