I think the blame squarly lies on 2). Sweden and Florida didn't follow the Science™ and instead followed reason, rationale and logic. The rest of the country was obessesed over lockdowns, especially those on the political left. It was a religion of HN.

These are policy failures on all fronts - from monetary to public health.

Sweden failed miserably as is now commonly accepted.

Depends on how you define failure. If the goal is set for zero Covid policy then yes, Swedes failed. But so did everyone else in addition to drastic measures such as recommending vax for 3 year olds.
