I suspect that there is a secondary emotion behind all this. The EU was emotionally wounded and hurt that the UK decided to leave the EU. I think they consoled themselves both publicly and privately about how the UK would live to regret leaving the wonderful EU [as indeed we might] and come cap in hand for favours.
Right now though, the EU is feeling rather foolish about it's handling of the vaccination process and the sight of the UK cruising off into the distance with its successful vaccination programme is bringing it all into rather sharp relief.
We are dealing with a sulky child which has had it's mistakes pointed out.
It is worth remembering that it could easily have gone quite the other way and may well do so in the future. Dancing on the misfortunes of others is a dangerous game.
