Cherry picked? So how about Germany the other neighbor that did far worse than Sweden?
So you believe the vaccine stops transmission still?
You believe the vaccine can bring about herd immunity?
Lots of reasons why Sweden is not the same as Denmark and Norway such as a vacation season brought it in, higher immigrant population, higher obesity, and older population. Vacation timing is very important when you look at what happened to Japan with full masks and lock downs after they opened up the border.

The fact is both Los Angeles County and Sweden both have the same number of people at 10M yet LA County has almost twice the number of dead from Covid. Sweden also has similar obesity numbers as LA County
LA County - 26,473 Dead with Covid
Sweden - 14,985 Dead with Covid

The worst part of the statistic abuse is you don't need statistics if you can count the entire cohort. Los Angeles County with 10M people had 7 children under 18 die WITH covid. No healthy kids.
Quick fact, 171 died under the age of 30 over 18 months
So to say it will save lives and lower the number below ZERO is insane.
Go to dashboard, demographic, death

Here is my problem, New York City was ravaged all at once. India was hit with a rampant spread. Sweden was hit with a rampant spread and did nothing about it.
What do all of them have in common? All are flat. Immunity from previous infection is how we all will get out of this.
Everyone had to get it. The vaccine does not stop transmission..
Here is what the people that created the vaccine have to say about herd immunity using a vaccine and stopping transmission transmission/infection.
CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky
“But what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.”
Dr. Gregory Poland Mayo Clinic
"do not prevent infection"
Michael Mina M.D., PHD Harvard’s epidemiology
“I think we’re pretty much going to see unabated transmission amongst vaccinated.”
“the whole notion of herd immunity from two vaccine doses is flying out the window very quickly “
Dr. Sir Andrew Pollard M.D., PHD Oxford created AstraZeneca injection
"herd immunity is “not a possibility” in light of the spread of the Delta variant"
"Giving evidence to MPs on Tuesday, Prof Sir Andrew Pollard said the fact that vaccines did not stop the spread of Covid meant reaching the threshold for overall immunity in the population was “mythical”."
Dr. Tal Brosh, head of the State of Israel Health Ministry
“It’s unavoidable that the pandemic will infect the majority of the population”.
wrong title. Obese man dies from covid.
In other news 78% of all Covid victims were obese...
Oh here is the sauce

So how do you explain Elijah and Moses talking to Jesus in Matthew?
Or Jesus taking everyone to see Mount Zion, a city with the "spirits of the righteous" in Hebrews?
And what are "God's people" doing at the altar with God in revelations?
"Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus." Matthew 17:3
"But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel."
Hebrews 12:22-24
"Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne."
Revelations 8:3
The faithful on earth and in heaven are all acting just as Catholics would expect. Believers on earth are initiating prayers which the saints and angels in heaven are receiving.
Dr. Sir Andrew Pollard M.D., PHD Oxford created AstraZeneca injection
"herd immunity is “not a possibility” in light of the spread of the Delta variant"
"Giving evidence to MPs on Tuesday, Prof Sir Andrew Pollard said the fact that vaccines did not stop the spread of Covid meant reaching the threshold for overall immunity in the population was “mythical”."
Michael Mina M.D., PHD Harvard’s epidemiology
“I think we’re pretty much going to see unabated transmission amongst vaccinated.”

When we pray to the saints, we're simply asking the saints to help us, by praying to God on our behalf—just like we ask our friends and family to do so—or thanking the saints for having already done so.
If you want to make stuff up and pretend that Catholics believe a saint is God, that is your business but it does not make it true and is frankly dishonest. Next you will tell me people in Mexico believe in a different God named Dios.
"Prayer to the virgin mary and saints is godess worship and idolatry"
Catholics do not pray in the way you describe. Imagine that Mary is in the room with Jesus. You pray to Mary to pray to Jesus with you and for you. Mary is not God the Father and is not able to come down to earth and sort out your issues. Same for Priests.
They for you and not as a replacement for God.
BS and out of context. The claim was that the bacterial infections happened after the virus attacked. This is commonly called an "opportunistic infection".
Here is a link to the actual study Fauci co-authored. Read it yourself. Don't let the left lead you down the road of lies.
Frankly I am surprised some nut has not taken out all of the Russia hoax people as well as the people that we all know were involved in directly stealing the election.
I guess our side is a lot more law abiding than the other side when it gets down to it.
