Now is not the time to draw conclusions any more than those prematurely calling Sweden geniuses when Denmark started spiking. A couple of years down the road there will be a multitude of studies looking at long term excess mortality, the long term psychological toll, the economical fallout, the impact of neglecting preventative screenings and medical exams, and a host of other factors. That is the time to draw conclusions about which path was the better one.
Sounds like a nice big word salad that’s trying to escape the inescapable: Sweden screwed up big time. It’s been obvious from the start. The only thing that’s recently changed is that a big defense was your assumption that Sweden would avoid the second wave of Denmark. Now that that rug’s been pulled out, it’s time to move on to displaced mortality?
Don’t forget, as little as a few weeks ago you were still trying to point to a second wave in Denmark as evidence of Sweden’s superiority.
Very similar to many of the previous narratives.

“No it isn’t! It’s the flu! Nobody is going to die, any more than swine flu.”

“The large number of COVID deaths show it was dangerous.”
“No they don’t! It was the hospitals! Either way, hydroxichloroquine is a total cure! Now the deaths are going to disappear.”

“The deaths are fake!
“What about hydroxichloquine?”
