- Mediterraneo10 6y agoWhether the Swedish herd immunity route was a failure or not is completely subjective. If your highest priority is to prevent all deaths, then it was a failure. If you are comfortable accepting higher elderly mortality to keep public spaces open for young people, it was a perfectly fine policy and it was a pity for Sweden to be shamed by certain media and other countries into reversing it.
