What is going on with the vaccination campaigns?

Pfizer/Biontech said that they’d provide 50 million doses worldwide within 2020.
There are other vaccines too.

Now, one day before the end of 2020, we find in our global dataset that only 5.4 million people received a vaccine.

• More than 10,000 people die every day.
• Doctors and nurses work beyond their capacity.
• It costs us trillions, businesses are gone, millions unemployed.

Then scientists made the impossible possible and made a vaccine in 12 months.

We should really try to do this fast.

It isn’t impossible to do this rapidly.

Israel’s population receives its protection rapidly.

7.4% of Israel’s population has received the first dose.

In the US it is 0.8%
In Germany 0.09%
