What do you count as a neighbor? Sweden is 39th in the world by per capita death rate. Many other European countries have higher death rates, including some countries that took more extensive pandemic control measures.

How many have permanently reduced lung function, vascular disease or are living with long covid?

The death rate isn't the only metric, especially now with the vaccine.
