I think sweden just let all their old and infirm die so now the low hanging fruit is gone and just people with good immune systems are left so covid is like a minor cold to them.

Just a reminder. Even among those 80+ years old, the IFR (Infection Fatality Rate) was estimated at the end of 2020 to be ~10%. There have been some new estimates in April of this year which are increasing that, but not so much as to change my point. Let's say they've upped it to 20% (which is a huge change in numbers).
The point is the same. Even if you are already at the end of your life. Even when your immune system is going largely senescent (dormant). Even when you get the disease! Even then you are 80% likely to survive. 80% of 80+ year-olds who get Covid survive it. Just think for a second about the number of diseases which can wipe out 80+ year olds...
This disease isn't even killing the majority of the people at the end of their lives.
The exaggeration of the threat of Covid is pervasive, perverse, and entirely dangerous. This is a very dangerous pathogen. That's obvious. But treating it as "Getting Covid = Death" - for EVERYONE - is ignorant, unsubstantiated, and designed only to create fear and misery.
Fauci and his allies need to be held accountable for this.

You should ask her the same about the risk of the vaccine. I bet she tells you she doesn't want that poison.

She already took the vaccine and she's fine. There's extremely little risk in the vaccine, vs being old and getting covid.
