Do you know if there is any standardized way to serve metadata on the papers themselves? I want to serve my findings in a way that makes them easy for others to include in metastudies but I'm not allowed to share the raw data (privacy reasons)

All I have found is ScienceVerse [1] that aims to develop a syntax/"a Grammar of Science"

To cite the Catechism

The Creator himself . . . established that in the [generative] function, spouses should experience pleasure and enjoyment of body and spirit. Therefore, the spouses do nothing evil in seeking this pleasure and enjoyment. They accept what the Creator has intended for them. At the same time, spouses should know how to keep themselves within the limits of just moderation

In Norway:

Women < 60 years: 10 deaths from covid-19 in total [0]. Four vaccine-related deaths were reported in young, relatively healthy women. Details on three of the vaccine-related deaths have been published [1]. One of the stories had been made public [2].

The astrazeneca vaccine was put on hold, if not, it's not hard to imagine the number of fatalities surpassing the number of covid-19-related deaths, even when ignoring comorbidities

This looks like a governmental issue in my eyes: it's the government's responsibility to ensure that the roads are reasonable safe and the traffic reasonable regulated, not Google's. If a route is dangerous, something should be done with the route itself (not the suggestion). But if Maps' suggestions breaks regulations and propose an illegal route, I agree!

In Norway, two health care workers are receiving intensive care for isolated low platelets and blood clotting. A third was also admitted but died from a cerebral catastrophe. These are all young (<50 years) and previously healthy. Of course this is serious and needs proper investigation.

Maybe the risk for some specific groups justify giving them another vaccine?

Sure, there are costs of course, but not for you as a patient or parent or student*, only as a tax payer. The discussion is also raised here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26440702

If making more information public increases trust, both between government and citizens and among citizens, then it's good for all. Of course, not all information should be public, but transparency is often useful.

And different stances in these kind of questions are probably adaptive in different societies. Publishing financial information is not adaptive if there is a high risk of being robbed as a result**. Having your address public is nice if all you get is flowers and post cards.

However, my main point was that "never move to Sweden" because more information about you is public, is quite unproportional as Sweden is one of the best countries to live in.

* There as some fees though, at least in Norway, but there is a limit of about $300 above which you don't need to pay for medical treatment. Some medicines have small costs, and there is also a fee for skipping your appointment without cancelling in advance. University costs about $80 per semester, but you're eligible for a public grant of ~$4 000 per semester.

** There is an ongoing case in Norway where a billionaire's wife has been kidnapped with a demanded ransom of €9 000 000. However, the police seems to believe that the motive is not merely financial https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%B8renskog-forsvinningen

Thank you for the nuances; my main issue with the comment was dismissing Sweden as an option for good, which seemed quite unproportional. Sweden is a good country to live in, regardless of their policy on sharing this kind of information

Personally, I think openness about taxes, fortune etc. is good to check that everyone contributes as they should. But before it was protected by login, at least in Norway, there was a (minor) problem with maps showing which streets had the wealthiest inhabitants (the police didn't like it)

Why not? Sweden is a great country on a lot of measures. Shouldn't quality of life count more? Or access to free, high quality health care for you and your family? Free education for your children? What if that kind of openness is in fact improving the society? Norway is very transparent as well.

It seems irrational to deny oneself and ones family the opportunity of moving to some of the best countries in the world (on a lot of measures) due to principle.

I guess the matter is trust. It is hard to become more trusting as adults, and yet, society works much better when the baseline of trust is higher.

I agree with you. In the US, looking at the lowest 20% earning men; 42% of their sons are still in the lowest 20% compared to below 30% in Nordic countries. Looking at those going from bottom 20% to top 20%, the US is at about 8% compared to 14% in Denmark

Where in the world is it easiest to become rich? The Nordic countries, of course! Iceland, Norway and Sweden have the highest proportions of billionares in the world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9UmdY0E8hU
