Sadly, no other country followed their lead... If they had then the death rate would likely be lower. A half witted CBC news reporter claimed the lock downs worked... Our death rate, like that of every other country was higher during the lock down than it has been since we opened up... How anybody can call that ‘worked’ is beyond comprehension.

Smallpox is vastly more contagious than covid the author is a moron. Vaccines work and for the individual it doesn’t take years to work most have a effective window measured in days with some requiring a booster in a few months time. Covid can and will be stopped with a vaccine. There are no fewer than 6 effective vaccines already China and Russia both have vaccinated tens or hundreds of thousands of military, VIPs, and first responders. There are 4 American vaccines that are in phase 3 testing that means they have a proven effective rate of greater than 50% to even be in phase 3. Even at 50% effective rates to end the chain of infection of a virus with a gross R0 of 2’5 which SARS COVID 2 has means a penetration rate of 70% and that also includes those who have had the virus and maintain natural antibodies for what research shows is at least 3 to 5 months it won’t take years to get to a combined recovered plus vaccinated 70% penetration rate it will take a few months at most. Less with mandatory vaccination. Or the carrot n the stick method. Voluntary but private companies have a right to require vaccination for hiring or continued employment the Supreme Court’s already said they have that right half a century ago. Add in the lack of access to air travel as every nation on earth will require proof of vaccination for international travel. Plus no access to mass gathering events again hosted by private industry think concerts and sporting events without proof of vaccination. All perfectly legal and absolutely going to be required by the private industry insurance companies. These facts will force nearly everyone to take the vaccination sorry that’s just how it will be and all perfectly legal. Please please antivaxers raise arms and fight in the streets so we can finally get the party started I have a thousand bucks not more than a few keyboard commands will pick up arms and fight to not take a vaccine it’s just not going to happen. Other than a lot of whining on the internet people will take the vaccination because they won’t really have a choice and that’s the world we live it accept it and do the righe thing to end this bug. Vaccines are not the devil they have cured small , tetanus, polio , yellow fever antivaxers are morons.
Sweden didn’t give a damn about getting rid of Dobald Trump.
That is the difference.
Liberals in power don’t want states or member states (in the EU) trying something different, because it could prove them wrong.
