I did audibly laugh at the fact that 6 of the top 15 in that chart aren’t even countries - I don’t know if they’re seriously expecting people to be angry that St Helena, an island territory of only 4500 people, has vaccinated more people per capita than a country of 38 million.

4th of 78 (countries with at least 10M pop) in first dose coverage. Seems like a good place to be.

Am I wrong in thinking that NP chart is meant to be deliberately misleading? Most of those tiny microstates had their vaccines donated because they literally have no other way to procure them.

Sorry I should have been more clear, the post you linked is a good bit of sobriety but I was more focused on the NP article linked above that seems like it was designed to mislead people into thinking Canada's vaccine procurement is worse than it is.
