Wallace-Wells: Even now, when we talk about pandemic response, we focus on things like school closures and masks, but it seems to me that Covid mortality has been shaped much more by the country's vaccination levels. There have been three times as many American deaths since Election Day 2020 as before. And we've done much worse, compared with our peers, since vaccination began than we had before.
At the beginning of 2021, the death toll in the United States was below not just that of Peru but also those of Italy, Mexico, Czechia and the United Kingdom, among many others (and just above France and Sweden).
Fauci: I mean, only 68 percent of the country is vaccinated. If you rank us among both developed and developing countries, we do really poorly. We're not even in the top 10. We're way down there .3 And then: Why do you have red states that are unvaccinated and blue states that are vaccinated? Why do you have death rates among Republicans that are higher than death rates among Democrats and independents ?4 It should never ever be that way when you're dealing with a public-health crisis the likes of which we haven't seen in over a hundred years.
