Yes my point was Sweden's original policy was so bad it lead the world in deaths per capita, while it's neighbors had a small fraction of their infections / deaths and no noticeable difference in economic performance due to t

Wikileaks actively agreed to launder and selectively release Russian military hacked materials for specific political purposes. Referring to that as journalism is an insult to actual journalists.
