What about the Dore knobs, who just invent strawman "promises", and claim she hasn't fulfilled them? Of course, they only represent a tiny fringe element, of less than 400k Tulsi and Green voters. Maybe they're too irrelevant for your generalized metric.

@dcaseng No. The entertainment value, provided by Dore knobs, pays the rent. And, no, he's wrong about most everything.

The UK hasn't been good at much, during the pandemic, themselves. They've also had one of the worst covid outcomes in the world. Their testing rate, for much of 2020, was as pathetically low as the US testing rate. Moron Boris didn't take it much more seriously than Trumpty Dumpty. Why not look at countries that have done well, or at least mediocre, instead of others that have done piss poorly?

@ravenmusic6392 High testing rates, high levels of compliance with masking and other covid measures, and high vaccination rates, are all connected to countries having lower hospitalization and death rates. If a large percentage of your population are morons, who refuse to wear masks or get vaccinated, then they're the ones leaving you with few other options. Morons shouldn't be the ones dictating how things are going to go. Singapore's decision, to make the unvaccinated pay for all their healthcare costs, might be worth a try.

@ravenmusic6392 The UK has about 70% of the population vaccinated. All the Nordic countries are higher, including do nothing Sweden. France, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Germany, and Spain, are all higher. Plus, a third of the UK's vaccinations are AZ, which is only 70% effective at the start. That's significantly different than a country having almost everyone vaccinated with a 95% efficacy vaccine.

@ravenmusic6392 The US is at 62.7%, and the UK at 70.99%, according to John Hopkins and the Google tracker. If being 9 points ahead is "significant", then writing off a point as completely insignificant, is kinda bullshit. Sweden 71.76%, Norway 73.29%, Finland 74.96%, Denmark 78.78% ... Ummm, yeah, being 95% effective, vs 75% effective, against alpha, is significant. Being 88% effective, vs 68%, against delta, is significant. It means AZ has been having over 2x more breakthrough cases.

@ravenmusic6392 Pretty sure it was you who conceded that other European countries used "horrendous mandates" to effectively achieve a higher vaccination rate than the UK.
