Fascinating thread. It's wrong in numerous ways - the methodology is pretty trivially incorrect, many of the statements are wrong based even on a quick google
But it's face-plausible so people jump on board. Very interesting

Taking one basic error in the thread as an example, the tables only work if you assume that the proportions in each age group are identical across these countries, which is very trivially wrong
Another basic mistake - the US had patchy lockdowns that weren't all in place for most of the year, so it's boringly incorrect to compare to Sweden in this way
And this claim is just bizarre. You can quite easily google age-specific excess deaths for each of these countries, it takes seconds to find the data
