> Sweden has one of the highest death rates in the EU. So they were wrong about their strategy.
Of course not having full lockdowns will give a higher Covid death rate (at least initially) than lockdowns.
If you measure that data point and use it to determine "success" then you are saying that a strategy known to be a failure was chosen, and it failed...
> the belief that getting the disease grants immunity, which, according to WHO, there is currently no evidence of.
That was a poor wording from the WHO. The reality is that scientists were always so sure that clearing an infection gives some (at least short term) immunity that it was never in question. It still isn't in question. Any policy can easily take that into consideration.
What was (and still is) questioned is how long this immunity works, and how strong the immunity is for those with no or very mild symptoms. Luckily, signs are saying that even that looks positive.
