Experimenting with herd immunity in the midst of a global pandemic is dangerous and irresponsible. It’s immigrants, POC, the houseless, the working-class, the elderly, and people with pre-existing conditions who get hit the hardest by herd immunity. Herd immunity kills people. Sweden’s approach shows that Sweden only cares about and prioritizes the well-being of it’s wealthy and white citizens as those are the ones who have the resources and protection to survive herd immunity. What bothers me the most is this fake image Sweden (and the rest of the western world) keeps pushing as some kind of socialist Utopia, when in fact todays Sweden leans more towards a capitalist society. It feels like Sweden markets itself accordingly depending on what the situation asks for.
