In your provided link it points to Sweden as one of the best prepared countries for COVID. I am Swedish citizen. I am actually quiet surprised since it is still hard to get tested and test results take longer than two days (mine was a week but it was private and two months ago).

Sweden in general is handling it well, but it would take a long time to understand who handled covid better.

I noticed that you seem to attack the sources of a lot of things you disagree with as biased.

I don't think that is obviously true, but in any case your arguments maybe better received if you explained why their claims are wrong.

I'd note that you used the same approach downthread, until it turned out the author himself was Indian and extremely well qualified to make the points he made.

> The reports published by these orgs are prepared by some minimum wage worker

Author: Sumit Ganguly is Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Rabindranath Tagore Professor of Indian Cultures and Civilizations at the Indiana University.

> Lancet and "Global Health Security Index"

I don't know what "Global Health Security Index" is, but no minimum wage worker is getting published in Lancet.

None of his previous work is on the subject of freedom and democracy btw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumit_Ganguly

Thanks for the Wikipedia page!

I think it makes it fairly clear he is well qualified to write on the topic. Only one of the his 8 books wasn't about India. He was awarded the "Pravasi Bharatiya Samman (Distinguished Overseas Indian)" award by the President of India!

Additionally he has published extensively specifically about India and democracy since at least 1997: https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=S...

I'd note in particular his contribution to the 1997 classic in the field "Paths to Peace - Is Democracy the Answer?"
