    Nature, Published online: 08 December 2021; doi:10.1038/s41586-021-04198-4[1] An analysis of three surveys of COVID-19 vaccine behaviour shows that larger surveys overconfidently overestimated vaccine uptake, a demonstration of how larger sample sizes can paradoxically lead to less accurate estimates.

    CDC+IBk-s benchmark tends to reflect reality, but with a survey, people
    will not always be truthful, and getting a representative mix is not
    an easy task.

    Old news...
