More than half of Germans polled said the EU has handled the vaccine rollout badly.

This is effect I was talking about. Its very pronounced in people I speak with. I, m not criticising EU, like I have been reminded, its not my business any more, but there has been a massive change of attitude and I suspect more so abroad than here. Might not be deserved but the EU and individual governments are being blamed much more than the Pharma companies involved.
The stand out stat... 77% of uk respondents thought UK govt had handled vaccine roll out well.
In contrast 18% of French respondents thought their govt had.
They are stark figures and show a land slide of difference to how governments were seen to be handling pandemic. I, d go as far to say probably totally reversed.
