"Years from now they'll be talking about it. They'll be talking about this great, great thing that we did with the vaccines- a truly unprecedented amazing medical miracle. Normally, developing a vaccine takes up to ten years. Thanks to operation warp speed we developed a vaccine in just nine months."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hGHtcKkfl8It sounds like a success.
5 million Americans have gotten the vaccine thus far.
Israel is on track to vaccinate EVERYONE in the country by the end of March.
In the U.S. “more than 9.3 million people had received the first of the two needed doses of the vaccine. In total, more than 27.7 million doses have been administered.”(That’s quite a jump compared to just a few days ago.)
8.7 million in Israel. (Less than the population of Seoul.)
What's Israel's GDP? What's the US's?
Imagine being so stupid as to think you can directly compare the U.S. and Israel for the ability to execute a mass vaccination program. On the one hand you have an ethno-state of a population equivalent to NYCthat is geographically small. It is also hyper-militarized with essentially its entire non-elderly adult population a member of the reserves and focused on survival at all costs. Furthermore, just because one country is ranked below another one, doesn't mean the difference is big. It's better to think of things in terms of tiers, rather than just looking at their ranking number. Anyways, next time, maybe think and inquire before you proclaim. You do understand that the key part of critical thinking is the thinking, not the critical, right? Like seriously, comparing the situation in Israel to the U.S.? How dumb do you have to be to do that? That's as laughingly bad as when MayorHaggar compared New Zealand to the U.S. I know you desperately want to have a go at Trump, but maybe wait and find good cases to use, not the first impulse that fires in your head.
I used https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations#country-by-country-data-on-covid-19-vaccinations for this calculation:10.28 million doses/330 million population = ~3% of U.S. population vaccinated (single dose calculation)2.05 million doses/8.7 million population = ~23% of Israeli population vaccinated (single dose calculation)What even are you? Can you imagine someone so full of themselves that they would never bother to think of per capita comparisons? Someone who would never think to compare things like actual industrial output? The U.S. is number two in the world, at 16.6%. Israel doesn't even make it into the top ten. America should be wiping the floor with everyone else, instead it is lagging Israel by 20 points. Imagine someone not being able to wrap their head around that. I mean, any seemingly valid comparisons made by that person would for all time be immediately suspect. People just wouldn't be able to trust the judgement of someone like that, especially when they are incessantly obnoxious, to the point that they drive away even people who agree with them from time to time.I imagine someone like that would be so solipsistic that they could never recognize themselves for what they truly are...a snake.
