And of course that vaccine "success" has translated into a higher case rate and a higher death rate than most of the rest of Europe but still you obviously don't have the benefits of lack of covid restrictions if your supply chains are so screwed compared to the rest of Europe.
Anyway most of Europe has caught up with, or overtaken, the UK's vaccination coverage now.
The vaccination coverage which mattered was in the elderly, which we were very far ahead on.
The following European countries currenly have higher excess deaths per head than the UK
Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Russia, Serbia, Moldova, Lithuania, Albania, Romania, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Hungary, Croatia, Ukraine, Italy, Kosovo, Latvia, Spain, Portugal, Slovenia

Much of the the stuff people believe here just isn't factual. It's based on manipulative headlines from the Independent and the Guardian.
