After generally tracking together since the start of the pandemic, and having similar overall vaccination rates, EU & USA are diverging now. Why?
Our well vaccinated states are doing just like the EU. But we have about 10 states with fully vaccinated rate of only ~40%.

We basically have too many states that are not well vaccinated. 24 states in September 2021 that have a fully vaccinated rate of less than 50%.
We need to first fix what we can and must fix which is the vaccination rate. That's on the leaders.

It's not like we are suffering from a huge vaccine shortage. Or that a vaccine is a major hardship or violation of freedom. It's one more vaccine. We take so many already. The messaging from state leaders has to be persistent and consistent.
Eliminate any barriers your state may have for vaccination.
Essentially treat less than 50% fully vaccinated rate in Sept 2021 as a failure of leadership. Fix it fast. Lives are at stake. Preventable deaths.

A nice way of looking at it here. Note the discrepancy in the current wave (the post vaccine wave). Vaccines have reduced deaths in US and UK. But since half the states in the US are not well vaccinated, deaths are higher in the US— southern US.

This thread by @ASlavitt highlights the discrepancy in vaccination rates. We started before almost anyone. But 45 countries are ahead of us now.
