Comparing Swedish Covid numbers, distancing, mask policies, etc to US is beyond pointless. A huge number of their population lives alone, for one; their national PISA scores are quite high, and about a billion other variables. How/why anyone would compare the Sweden and US numbers about the efficacy of covid responses is beyond me.
May as well ask the question "What about Africa?" The WHO was predicting an absolute disaster there a year ago, and they seem to have done pretty well. Maybe we should have followed the African response? (Stupid, for much the same reasons).

and the natural social distance of the Swedish culture probably makes their comparative numbers with other nations worse, not better

Can you imagine the outrage should anything "controversial" be revealed? The publisher would be decimated by the traditional and social media, and the authors and families thereof would be subject to verbal and possibly physical attacks.

I believe in one of his posts from back in May or something he intimated he had family in Sweden.
Doing a quick search I found this:

It compares Sweden to UK. They track very similarly. The exception being the draconian lockdowns the Brits exacted on their populace vice the Swedes keeping it open.
IDK. But I think lockdowns and all the other BS really hurt us in ways we won't see for years as they take time to manifest in the psyche of the population. Especially the kids.
As far as someone writing accurately about this historically. 2 words - cancel culture. The author(s) would be the nail. The propaganda ministries would hammer them. No way a fair accounting of this debacle ever comes to fruition.

One is economic based. That's your example. They changed their name - they wanted to do it. CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, twitter verse, tik tok land, insta- propaganda,Facebook, the late nights didn't shame them to doing it.
We can vote with our $$$. But when a coordinated systematic effort to absolutely positively crush differing opinions that does not comport with a narrative - that is the cancel culture to which I speak.
Please mind the difference.
