90% of the eligible adults in the kingdom of Bhutan has been FULLY vaccinated in just SEVEN days. https://apnews.com/article/governme...ccine-bhutan-596528eca3535b5c2ee79e275ec5e7e0 The country's population is 800,000 so at 90% that's still 720,000 people. God created the earth in 7 days and this country is able to vaccinate 90% of its adult population FULLY, not just with 1st dose, but fully vaccinated in the same amount of time. They are not God but their action is close to being godlike, nothing short of incredible. Bhutan's GDP in 2020 is approx. $2.5 billion where the US GDP in 2020 is approx. $20.9 trillion, approx. 8374 times of that of Bhutan. https://countryeconomy.com/countries/compare/bhutan/usa So if assuming the amount of GDP would be able to approximate the ability to vaccinate the population $1 of GDP for 1 person, with Bhutan being able to fully vaccinate 720,000 people with a GDP of $2.5 billion, with a GDP of 20.9 trillion, US should've fully vaccinated 72,569,444,444,444,444 people. The current US population is just 332,915,073. So that means US should've not only fully vaccinated everybody in the US but also, with the world population of 7,874,965,825, fully vaccinate the entire world 9,215,207 times over!! And yet today US's Covid-19 vaccination rate is only 50% with only 163,025,726 being fully vaccinated. https://usafacts.org/visualizations/covid-vaccine-tracker-states/ Yes you can say USA has a larger population, and a larger population introduces inefficiencies but with 8000 times of GDP over some country and only manage to get 50% of the population vaccinated? REALLY? This is not just 10 times the GDP, or 20 times, it's 8000 times the GDP!! Two billionaires from USA just went to space and back and yet it cannot manage to get everybody taking two little shots FOR FREE against a deadly and highly contagious disease?? That's not inefficiency; that's total lack of will! Bhutan is the country that has ranked 95 out of 156 on the Gross National Happiness Index. I guess money not only cannot buy happiness but it can't buy health initiatives either. Or I guess the US really needs to start to buy health initiatives with $$? Instead of issuing unconditional stimulus checks based on age and income, it should now be attaching vaccination requirements for the stimulus checks. No vaccines, no stimies. You get $100 if you get one shot, and you get the rest for you and your children, the whole family if everybody eligible to receive vaccines are fully vaccinated. There is no point handing out stimulus checks to help people when people are not doing anything to help themselves or others. This is not even "do not ask what this country can do for you and instead ask what you can do for this country". It's this country is already doing something for you (in giving you money to live + free vaccines to combat a disease), you just need to help it along.
They didn't vaccinate the children, only the adults (roundabout 500~550 thousand people). This newspaper article is about the second round of vaccinations. The first round was done some time ago, as is stated in the article. The second round could not be executed back then as they had ran out of vaccines and couldn't get new supply. I agree with you that Bhutan did a good job, but it is not necessary to exaggerate the achievement.
It's still incredible what they did. And children below the age of 12 are not eligible to receive the vaccines anyway so they are not to be counted and they are not counted in the USA eligible vaccination population either. So there is no exaggeration of their achievement. And compared to what they achieved, the vaccination rate in the USA is still pathetic given the overwhelming amount of resources that are available.
