I remember when the vaccination pass was introduced in Sweden in December 2021 and my partner and I were not allowed to go to church when our daughter was performing. There was no Christmas concert for our daughter that day. When I e-mailed the other parents, no one objected except one. She was the mother of one of the top students. She later told me how she was kicked out of the church when her daughter was to give her last concert through the arts school.  

I have now left the Church of Sweden, where I have been a member since childhood. It is important that what happened is never forgotten, on the contrary, the abuses that occurred must be recognized so that we have a chance to heal what was broken during the so-called pandemic.
