This whole comment is patently based on ignorance and spreading disinformation.
The population doesn't achieve "herd" immunity annually to the flu. I'm not sure what right-wing paleo blog you're reading but that is patently false. The vaccine is trying to catch up to the mutations of the influenza virus or targeting the most common influenza virus that is found in populations. If you do work in clinical trials, then you would understand that the longer a virus/pathogen is around, the more mutations of that virus/pathogen would exist and spread through populations which is why it makes certain diseases even more difficult to contain. There have been many global diseases that have been next to eradicated due to mass vaccinations. Vaccinations work. Suggesting otherwise is dangerous.
Sweden never did and never will achieve herd immunity by simply letting a virus that has mutated to more contagious and more deadly forms just run its course. Their effort was a disaster and every one in Sweden from the Kingdom to the Gov't has acknowledge their failure.
"Sweden’s policy of allowing the controlled spread of Covid-19 viral infection among the population has so far failed to deliver the country’s previously stated goal of herd immunity. Commenting on recent antibody testing clinical and research findings, authors of a paper published by the
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, write that Sweden’s higher rates of viral infection, hospitalisation and mortality compared with neighbouring countries may have serious implications for Scandinavia and beyond."

Using Desantis' numbers as some sort of success considering how poor Florida is doing is pretty hilarious.
Florida does not intentionally provide accurate data on COVID and that's been the case for the entire year.
Vince isn't living his life in a vacuum with other COVID deniers. Everyone is affected by his bizarre choices. Every time he enters a grocery store, a coffee shop, goes to the gym, interacts with his cleaning staff, etc., they're all affected by his choice to ignore COVID guidelines.
In case you needed more information on how wrong you are:
"In the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Swedish national response continues to be an outlier with cases and deaths increasing more rapidly than in its Nordic neighbours.On Dec 20, 2020, COVID-19 deaths in Sweden had reached more than 8000 or 787 deaths per 1 million population, which is 4·5 to ten times higher than its neighbours.This difference between Nordic countries cannot be explained merely by variations in national cultures, histories, population sizes and densities, immigration patterns, the routes by which the virus was first introduced, or how cases and deaths are reported. Instead, the answers to this enigma are to be found in the Swedish national COVID-19 strategy, the assumptions on which it is based, and in the governance of the health system that has enabled the strategy to continue without major course corrections."
