Just because you dislike the source doesn't mean the information contained is wrong. Here are the hard facts. Quibble if you like but:

"Per million people, Sweden has suffered 40 percent more deaths than the United States."

"Sweden suffered a vastly higher death rate while failing to collect on the expected economic gains."


Now if you have a source with evidence, I'd be happy to look at it. But saying you don't like my source while maintaining how great things are in Sweden is delusional. It's an unpleasant reality, but retreating to fantasy is more cowardly than trying to confront the reality of the situation.
