I feel it’s a bit pedantic to try and say we should have been faster or vaccinate more people.. I mean can you look at this chart and say that with a straight face... really.. no really? Don’t let any biases show

The irony.

Tables don't matter to me, just because we're second doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. we aren't perfect and excusing the need for improvement because we're doing better than most countries is pointless. We can always do better, and we should strive to do just that.

The only times we should be comparing ourselves to other countries is if they are doing something we could do to improve our situation, using other countries performances as an excuse to not do better is a terrible attitude.
