Yay we’re now ahead of Mexico

Stuff reports:

With Covid-19 loose in the community, Kiwis are clearly very keen to get vaccinated. In the last week well-over half a million Kiwis got a dose of the vaccine, with an average of 1.5 per cent of the entire being jabbed every single day.

Prime Ardern has been keen to highlight this, holding up an A3 graph proudly at the 1pm podium that showed we could beat at something else but rugby.

Yet while we are going faster than Australia, we're still behind them – as the Opposition is keen to point out. Indeed we're still behind almost every other developed country, although we did pass this week, meaning that phrase “the bottom of the OECD” no longer quite applies.

What an achievement – second bottom ahead of Mexico.
