        The other claim repeated by officials and others worldwide was that any future waves in Sweden would be very minor due to pre-existing immunity This, too, does not seem to have happened

        Sweden tends to report multiples days worth of data at once, and then date it after the fact. Their 7 day moving average of deaths has been pretty steadily declining since early January.

        A year ago, no one was sure about anything. One of many countries messing up - is bad but it may happen. One year later, we know more, messing up is at leat not good, or bad, or even criminal.

        Re: "This time last year people claimed that Sweden would reach herd immunity by May" Tom Britton said he was wrong. Anyone peddling 'but Sweden achieved herd immunity!!' after that, does not deserve to be taken seriously. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/369/6505/846.full … https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/12/22/sweden-coronavirus-covid-response/ …pic.twitter.com/fYdiqCepCr
