Not sure why you got down-voted. Yes, the government PR somehow completely failed on the vaccination part. But then, this is really in line with most of it's actions over the last 12 months. Seeing how the current "lockdown" turns out, it's a miracle we got it right in March 2020.
For me, what I find even worse than the vaccination PR disaster is the seemingly total lack of efficiency on the public health front. Reports from the field still are delayed 3-4 days. That's stuff that could have been fixed with appropriate software within a couple of months. Also there still seems to be no concerted effort to collect a statistically sound random sample to learn about the real infection rates.
- thu2111 6y agoDid Germany "get it right" in March? To my eye it looks like it just missed the first wave by chance along with many other countries (Germany is not unique in Europe in having not really experienced a first wave). As we now know lockdowns don't work and have no impact, same for masks, there's no real explanation for Germany's "slow start" beyond random variation.
