How do you square these two things?
We're taking now with the benefit of knowing the future. The lockdowns kept the numbers low for a long time and vaccination kept the original strains away as well by the time we did the "mission success".
Input Australia on https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations and have a look for yourself.
Then again, we were always behind each and every variant, always following our tail when it came to it.
By December we were already just doing the long tail of vaccinations getting to that 95% in Feb (https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/datablog/ng-inter...) So while I agree we had issues with the rollout, I don't agree "we were always behind each and every variant".
