A recent epidemiological study comparing Norway and Sweden:
Interestingly, the study postulates that Sweden's COVID-19 death toll may not be as bad as it appears because the excess mortality rate has not increased. However, Sweden's mortality rate has been declining for several years and I think it's a case of more research required.
You're a patient man @DJC , have you ever been an educator?
Of course, there are lots of possibilities and we cannot draw a conclusion from any recent trends, it will be years before we know the full answers to many of the questions. Drawing too much of a conclusion based on recent events is as bad as claiming there is no global warming after the odd cool summer.
But one aspect of this that cannot be ignored is the statistics, 335M vaccinated and growing at about 15M per day at the moment, and the numbers are really staking up in favour of the mainstream scientists, oddly for both COVID-19 and through the COVID-19 travel restricted emissions reductions exposing the real effect of Global Warming. But as I've just mentioned, above we can confirm the latter until things resume some semblance of normality.
PS; There is a new global health initiative being launched, it's objective is to collect in a standard format verifiable COVID-19 disease and vaccination data that includes useful but anonymized data like age, medications, pre-existing illness, etc., etc., Oddly a few jurisdictions are refusing to participate, Italy, Greece and Spain being the standouts, is it a cultural or political issue that perhaps explains the dire circumstances in some of the dissenting regions? As soon as that site goes live, I will provide links.
