The US is ~50% vaccinated as well, but our economy is flagging. It has nothing to do with the vaccines and everything to do with the regime in power.
That is still an open question. Some countries like Thailand and Philippines are lagging behind badly in vaccinations and their economies are an unmitigated disaster, many people literally have no food after losing jobs due to covid-19.
The US is at 25% with 1 shot and 13.5% fully vaccinated.
Our economy is holding up very well actually in spite of Biden/Kommiela. Best indicator of economy is how stocks are doing. As of this morning, stocks are very close to all time high. I can guarantee if economic prospects are dismal, stocks would not be near all time high. I can say that after 57 years of trading stocks.

“The US is ~50% vaccinated as well”
Not true.
On the 21 March report, CDC said 13.3% of the population was fully vaccinated, 24.5% had at least a first shot. (https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations )
The rate at which we are giving out shots is increasing (now about 3 million per day), but we are 2-3 months behind Israel in % terms.
“The US is ~50% vaccinated as well, but our economy is flagging. It has nothing to do with the vaccines and everything to do with the regime in power.”
We’re about 20%.
