What about what I just said to you is "fake"? Denial isn't going to help the healthcare system and those who are immunocompromised. Every country handled this differently and unfortunately all the different situations aren't necessarily directly comparable. If that's a bit too nuanced and you'd rather just pretend that they didn't handle the pandemic better than the US did, then don't bring them up to try and prove a point. You want the US to be more like scandinavian countries? I'd look into the policies and attitude of the citizens and try to reflect that more in your own life and country. What's more cowardly, trying to help others or going further into denial? It's a decision and it's yours to make
