73% vaccination rate in Sweden. Not great, but better than USA, with 65%. And far better than places like Mississippi, with a 50% vaccination rate.
Not surprisingly, they also have fewer deaths per capita. 1.62 deaths per thousand. USA is at 2.76. Mississippi is at 3.88
Sweden’s “trust the people” policy is paired with people trying to do the right thing. It isn’t some anti-vax, anti-mask utopia. They actually got their shots.
I’d do the same for masking and dinner parties, but I don’t know how to gather accurate data on those. Self reported numbers cannot be compared between cultures.
