I'm afraid I don't follow.
Sweden didn't lock down because they wanted to achieve herd immunity quickly, while still taking measures to protect the most vulnerable. Spain locked down, actively attempting to minimize the spread of the virus.
How is the failure of Spain to achieve herd immunity (while actively attempting to achieve the opposite) a counterpoint to the Swedish example?
- alkonaut 6y ago> Sweden didn't lock down because they wanted to achieve herd immunity quickly This is a popular myth. There are no such statements (no not even from internal communication and similar). It was never a “strategy”

- Kiro 6y agoOne email thread out of thousands released where they brainstorm theories and predictions. Doesn't mean it's the official strategy and Giesecke is not even employed by FHM but retired.
- alkonaut 6y agoThese were exactly the emails I mean. Anyone who reads them can clearly see there is not even a slight suggestion that reaching herd immunity is somehow a possible “strategy”.
