On December 8, 2024, we mark a day of remembrance to honor all those impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and its far-reaching consequences. By lighting a candle at 6:00 PM local time, we stand in solidarity with the millions affected – from elderly individuals who passed away alone, to children whose normal routines were shattered, and families torn apart by restrictions and mandates.

Covid Memorial Day is a global movement for truth and justice, initiated by Andreas Sidkvist, chair of MoD – Human Rights and Democracy. The day aims to honor the victims and highlight the urgent need for accountability and reconciliation.

A Date of Historical Significance

December 8 was chosen as a symbolic date, marking the day the first Covid-19 vaccine was officially administered worldwide on December 8, 2020. This date serves as a reminder of a time that transformed the world and invites reflection on the pandemic’s effects on individuals and communities.

Why Covid Memorial Day?

The pandemic has left deep scars, continuing to impact people worldwide:

• Elderly: Many spent their final days in isolation, without the comfort of loved ones.
• Children and teenagers: Restrictions on education and social activities caused long-term social and psychological effects.
• Families and relationships: Vaccine mandates and health passports drove divisions among families and friends.
• Small businesses: Countless entrepreneurs were forced to close, facing devastating economic consequences.
• Vaccine injuries: Millions globally have reported adverse effects caused by Covid-19 vaccinations.

It is time to acknowledge the mistakes and injustices that occurred and pave a path toward truth and justice.

“What happened during the so-called Covid pandemic is a horrific crime against humanity, unparalleled in modern times. It is time to acknowledge the violations that occurred so that all those affected can find peace, and those responsible can be held accountable,” 

says Andreas Sidkvist.

The Background – From Nobel Prize Protest to Memorial Day

The idea for Covid Memorial Day was born during a global protest in Stockholm on December 10, 2023, when thousands gathered to question the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for Covid-19 vaccine discoveries. At the demonstration outside the Nobel Prize Museum, Andreas Sidkvist declared the need for an annual day of remembrance to honor those affected by the pandemic.
