[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So embarrassing to be an American these days.  We must bribe our citizens to get a life saving vaccine that the rest of the world is begging for.  Seems pretty clear that the US will never regain its moral standing in the world since at our heart we are a bunch of selfish idiots.  [/quote]

I'm French, and the first to criticize any dumb American move :-) However, the USA leads the world, after Israel, the UK, and a very few countries, in vaccinations. It's every country for themselves here.

So this is not embarrassing in the least, on the contrary, it's a genius move and one that could only be done in America. Know why? Because no other country is so wealthy they can do lotteries of 40K to 400K multiple days in a row, in multiple regions!!! France would never be able to do that. They're struggling to distribute vaccines and have only just now inoculated 20 million people with their first doses. Japan and South Korea, champions of Covid precautions, have only vaccinated their medical personnel.

I doff my hat.
