Chile is a world leader in its coronavirus vaccination program and has already given at least one dose to almost a third of its population. By Thursday more than six million people had been given a single dose and 3.1 million both doses, including most over-70s. And yet that same day, the government put more than 80 percent of the country’s 19 million people in lockdown.
