As Billvon noted, yearly comparison shows a severe fail on Sweden's part.
The number of COVID deaths over the last year is why they started implementing strict rules like their neighbours, to try to slow it down.
And comparing 5 years of flu deaths to one year of COVID...
I have. Have you looked at the data? [https://www.newscientist.com/articl...when-talking-about-suicide-and-the-pandemic/]
For example, in Australia, one State implemented some of the toughest lockdown measures in the world, that lasted several months. There was no increase in suicides. [https://www.theage.com.au/national/...ic-would-drive-increase-20210118-p56uwp.html]
They have come out. And they do not support your claims.
If you are about to start peddling the treatment you have been peddling in several of your posts over the last several weeks, I would suggest you stop. Completely.
As for Israel, it stands to reason they protect herd immunity of those vaccinated and whose who cannot be vaccinated on medical grounds. As for the others who refuse or choose to go down a different path to what we know works? Darwinism.
It seems to me that the whole thing is a little more complicated ....

Southern California suicides down during coronavirus pandemic — but not among young people
In three of four Los Angeles-area counties, suicides among minors rose in 2020, causing concern about isolation during distance learning
Suicides in Florida on the other hand were down in 2020.... Florida had much less restrictive measures against Covid 19 than either California or New York.
2,975
But across Florida, according to preliminary Medical Examiner's statistics, 2,975 people committed suicides in 2020. That's a drop of 13 percent from the previous year, and 16 percent from 2018

Suicides in Queens rise since mid-March compared to 2019 as concerns about mental health grow during coronavirus pandemic
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz was shocked one recent Monday by a pair of borough suicides: A 49-year-old man found hanging in a parking garage. And a 29-year-old woman who jumped from her bedroom window.
The two deaths are among the 16 suicides in Queens since March 15, when New York schools were closed as the pandemic began to wrap the city in its lethal grip. The dead had nothing in common except “they were sheltered and not sure where to turn,” Katz told the Daily News on Wednesday.
For comparison’s sake, there were 17 total suicides in Queens from Jan. 1 through April 29, 2019, just one more than reported in the past six weeks. While there are no citywide suicide stats available at this point in the COVID-19 crisis, anecdotal evidence points toward a bump in New Yorkers taking their own lives.
“I started noticing the numbers coming in over the last month and a half, and I felt obligated to send a message that we need to be checking in on our colleagues, our loved ones, our friends," said Katz.
For the record I will not state that I absolutely will not take a vaccine but.... I will be waiting for the last possible moment to do so for several reasons, one of which is that my province Nova Scotia has an incredibly low incidence of Covid 19 and I know that if I so much as feel a sore throat I go and get tested. I had one test in July of 2020 and I was negative. I upped my intake of natural anti-inflammatories and haven't even had a sore throat since then. I did that because I prefer to not have to take the test again if I can avoid it.
