Sweden isn't even in the top 25 for deaths. So, basically them doing nothing was still better than a bunch of 1st world countries with all sorts of strict lockdown measures.

You're cherry picking, and the country you're doing it with is pretty weak evidence.

Here's a fun one. Explain why states with less strict mandates aren't worse.

'Apples-to-apples' is the keyword you need to read up on.

Not really since you're trying to use 3 Scandinavian countries, one of which is attached to the mainland of Europe and Finland which is an entirely genetically different group of people.

If you're going to group countries together in an attempt to prove the measures are working you should be able to take that same theory and do it all over the world. Except if you were to do that then it wouldn't up.

So, sure apples-to-apples buddy. Get to explaining why your theory isn't holding up in the rest of the EU or the states.
