"Up to now Sweden has recorded 5,838 coronavirus deaths, giving it the fifth-highest per capita death rate in Europe, [...]"
Yes they have the fift worst mortality per capita in Europe excluding microstates (Andorra, San Marino).
It is the 11th worst mortality in the world, again excluding the same two microstates.
Not sure how one can "vindicate" a strategy that lead to that, unless you imagine scenarios where the rest of the countries have huge moralities due to second wave, and Sweden somehow ends up on the other side of the table, with 11th best in the world.
They tried, props for the courage, but they fucked up.
