Hmm....

"Sweden’s curve swung up and down just like the rest of the world’s, in the long run. "

This doesn't mean that Sweden implemented a policy that was not effective. It means lockdowns and mandatory masking are not effective.

"That feels extreme — and emblematic of how polarized we’ve become. Why do we need to frame this in terms of good v. evil? "

In what situation is forcing people to do things they do not consent to, not an evil?
