Sweden presently has a very high vaccination rate. In particular, it’s higher than the antivax crowd’s favorite comparison country, Israel. As of Sep. 1, 82% of eligible Swedes have had one shot, and 70% are fully vaccinated. Sweden seems to be close to, if not already at, the coveted herd immunity by vaccination. In comparison, in Israel, 65% have had one shot and only 60% are fully vaccinated (a smidge over half of those 3x). And Sweden’s deaths per capita from the start of the pandemic are ~1434/1M compared to Israel’s ~824/1M. Nobody talks about Sweden because its early response was an object lesson in what not to do. And the present situation confirms what we expect in a highly vaccinated population. The Sweden > world nonsense is based on the oddest data cherry-picking.
