The UK is doing is very well with the vaccines, but is it going to people's heads?
This poll would suggest it is. British respondents rate the UK's performance better than Israel(!) and much better than the US, although the data does not bear that out. kekstcnc.com/insights/covid…

The actual data on the vaccination rate
These matrices are a *treasure trove* for laying bare national stereotypes.
So which countries do Germans think are doing *worst* with vaccines? Well, why, UAE & Italy.
*All* countries surveyed also likely to think that UAE is doing badly. Except this is the reality. 🤯😂🤦♂️

Italy & Germany's performance on vaccines has been nearly identical(ly) mediocre.
And yet Germany is rated better than Italy in *all* countries surveyed, sometimes by a factor of 2!
[BTW I am sure you would get the same results if you polled Italians]

The sad reality is that this is what happens:
Pollers: "let's include UAE among the response options, perhaps people have heard that they're doing very well"
Respondents: "Well of course Bedouins don't have vaccines, do they?" 😑

The examples are just *endless*. Just look at this.
The US vaccination is *three times* that of Sweden. And yet Swedes rate the US performance worse than their own country.
And the US is not some exotic country someone never hears about in the media!

Caveat: the difference between UK & Israel rating in the UK sample seems to be largely due to "I don't know"
