Our own rate of vaccination is also pretty high. The USA is now at 32.1% having received the first dose. Chile (36.7%), the UK (46.5%) and Israel (61%) are the only countries with a higher percentage.
Our fully vaccinated results are even better. Only Israel and Chile have a higher percentage of fully vaccinated than the USA. President Trump’s Operation Warp Speed has paid off handsomely for the USA.
It’s also worth mentioning that Chile has mostly used Sinovac, a questionable vaccine developed in China. The United Kingdom is mostly using Astra-Zeneca, which has known issues with blood clotting.
“Sinovac, a questionable vaccine developed in China”
Being developed in China is indeed questionable! But at least Sinovac is, if I understand it, a traditional vaccine rather than a gene-editing new school “vaccine”
I haven’t gone the vac route yet. My GF was on a cruise in the Bahamas in February 2020. Got back and was down with fairly heavy respiratory issues for a few weeks. She got better.
I got a sore throat for a few days.
Then the world went crazy with plague fever.
We don’t know know for certain that C19 was the cause but considering the initial public, known first victims were in cruise ships, world wide. It’s a fair assumption.
