Note Natalie’s wording:

“Earlier this week, Sweden’s death rate per capita emerged as the highest in the world, according to the Guardian.”

what The Guardian actually wrote:

“Sweden’s death rate per capita was the highest in the world over the seven days to 2 June, figures suggest.”

“According to the scientific online publication Ourworldindata.com, the number of Covid-19 deaths per capita in Sweden was the highest in the world in a rolling seven-day average to 2 June.”

everything from the opening paragraph of Natalie’s is a twisting of the facts in this story.

also from The Guardian:

“In an interview with the Dagens Nyheter daily, Tegnell subsequently said he still believed “the basic strategy has worked well. I do not see what we would have done completely differently … Based on the knowledge we had then, we feel we made the appropriate decisions.”...

However, he was unclear what Sweden should have done differently and at a press conference later on Wednesday later he underlined that “we basically still think that is the right strategy for Sweden”...

The Guardian & BBC attack Sweden mercilessly for not adopting full lockdown, yet their reports are more honest than what Natalie got published in NY Post.

You’re right to point out the nature of the metrics being reported.

The issue concerns the viability of herd immunity — and we know the Left is committed to denying every advantage it offers — a commitment to repress the economy & morale.

>> Note Natalie’s wording: “Sweden’s death rate per capita...”

Good catch. With respect to herd immunity, that metric is meaningless without knowing the confirmed cases per capita. And with herd immunity, we expect the confirmed cases per capita to be higher — the effective result of herd immunity.

Both the minions & those like Fauci play games with the numbers. And there are also those that bend the data to serve their best intentions.
