Why compare with Portugal? Why not compare with some other country with similar deathrate as Sweden but completely different choices? Maybe because you assertion about "very bad choices" then wouldn't hold any water.

It might still be true, but the actual support for it seems to just be cherry-picking.

If you believe that feel free to provide an example, so we can discuss it. Your post is just FUD at the moment.
Rereading my own post some hours later I don't like the tone of it, so I'll willingly appologise for that. This might warrant a FUD-claim (I had to look up FUD to start with).

The point I was trying to make, which I don't at all think is based on fear, uncertainly and/or doubt, is that any two countries will differ on so many variables that one can almost freely pick what correlation one thinks is the important one. To do something akin to that and the go "shame on you" feels wrong.
