It just seems weird that we are getting quite different stats on this to the rest of the world We aren't. Our stats will be pretty much in line with everyone elses, once all the data smoothing has been applied.
The difference is that the UK is very vaccine compliant - a hold over from the beginning of the NHS. We have a whole organsiation based around looking at vaccine data and understanding how it applies to the UK population, compares to previous vaccine rollouts here and across the world. The NHS, PHE/S etc do this every single day even with no pandemic.
We also have a generally vaccine compliant population, only slightly undermined by the Wakely debacle and current anti vaxx rhetoric.
So numbers that make other countries stop and have are think are more easily understood and accepted here, because at all levels, we have seen much of it before, the government don't have to continually reassure a vaccine resistent population, send data to vaccine reluctant GPs and protect themselves from any political fallout from it, it just isn't novel here.
