These takes are so bad.
We've clearly made some mistakes and more urgency is needed to improve, but we are currently administering 1.1 million vaccines per day. We are doing significantly better than 99% of the countries in the world, including all of the EU.

Many of the same people complaining now were telling us 4 months ago that there was no way we would even see a vaccine before 2021.
And the countries ahead of us don't have to deal with the same logistics challenges as distributing to a country with 300 million people.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't be making adjustments. We clearly aren't using enough of the vaccines that have been distributed. We know production can keep up with demand so we need to lower the restrictions of who is getting vaccinated. But that doesn't = failure.
Would I rather we be doing it as well as Israel? Absolutely.
But the sense of entitlement is exhausting. We managed to put out a 95+% effective vaccine to a new deadly virus in less than 9 months and have already administered over 20 million doses in less than 1.5 months.
