ANALYSIS: How Europe Went Wrong in Its Vaccine Rollout

Sat, 2021-03-20 19:54 — mike kraft

BRUSSELS — The calls began in December, as the United States prepared to administer its first batches of Covid-19 vaccine. Even then, it was clear that the European Union was a few weeks behind, and its leaders wanted to know what they could learn from their American counterparts.

Overview of Covid-19 cases rising in much of the world--the Economist, with graphs

Covid-19 cases are rising again in much of the world More transmissible variants, rather than changes in behaviour, are largely to blame The Economist
