  1. It remained non-politicized because of the lack of restrictions. Politicization is created by introduction of restrictions and of course there would be some backlash by sectors of the population, eg those who lost their jobs and/or business from lockdowns and some politicians would capitalize on that creating politicization. Not the case in Sweden

  8. Well Norway, vaccinated 78% of their population, including over 95% of their high risk elderly people before reopening fully. They trust the vaccine and believe that with vaccination rates high, it’s time for the economy to be revived due to the fact that covid no longer poses a major threat to their healthcare system

  9. They kept the economy and schools open, and didn’t recommend masks, so technically their advice went against recommendations by other countries
