In recent weeks, countries around the world have launched vaccination campaigns in a global race to end the pandemic. Some are far outstripping the U.S.: Israel, whose size and population is similar to New Jersey’s, gave shots to an average 60,000 people a day in its first week. If the U.S. were moving at the same speed, it would be doing 2.2 million daily inoculations — 10 times its current pace.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening reiterated in a tweet that “it is up to the States to distribute the vaccines. He reiterated the sentiment again on Wednesday morning, telling states to “get moving.”
