Propaganda Denigrates Sweden's Common Sense Approach to Covid 19 -- Why Not Denigrate Harsh Approaches of France, Italy, UK, Spain, and Belgium?

 

Claims are being made that Sweden's softer approach has been a failure in coping with Covid 19

However, the article's statistics do not seem to take into account information available on Covid 19 cases and deaths around the world:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

As of December 15, 2020, Sweden ranks 23rd in mortality rate per population. To put this in perspective, Belgium, France,  Italy, Spain, and UK, who imposed some of the strictest and earliest lock downs in the world, rank 1st, 15th, 4th, 7th, and 10th respectively in mortality rate per population.

Why do the propagandist not criticize these lock down countries who, so far, have been less successful than Sweden? I think maybe they are using the tactics of President Trump, although they are using them to support the restrictions which have had such devastating consequences for the world.

In addition, economically Sweden has outperformed most of the EU .  Also, Sweden has not suffered the increase in suicides, domestic violence, death of non-covid 19 partients, and mental health problems as have the lock down countries.

AGAIN -- Why do the propagandist not criticize these lock down countries who, so far in all aspects, have been less successful than Sweden? 

IT IS TIME THAT PANDEMIC/INFECTIOUS DISEASE EXPERTS AND MOST WORLD GOVERNMENTS ADMIT THE FAILURE OF THEIR HARSH RESTRICTIONS AND INSTITUTE AN APPROACH THAT WILL HELP THE WORLD HEAL FROM THE HORRIBLE CONSEQUENCES THESE HARSH RESTRICTIONS HAVE OVERWHELMED ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD!
