The only solution is to vacinate at much, much higher rates than they are doing now. I don't know what is holding it up, but I imagine that setting an agressive deadline, say 2 weeks, for everybody to be offered a vaccine will get things moving, so long as the penalty is sufficiently harsh. Maybe holding politicians individually responsible for each dead as manslaughter?
Basically I am tired of politicans doing jack shit and expect the rest of us to dance to their tunes.

The easier to produce vaccines are either less effective (AstraZeneca) or haven't finished demonstrating how effective they are (Johnson & Johnson, CanSino, Gamelya, Sinovac, SinoPharm, and Novavax are still in trials). The risk with a less effective vaccine is that the virus could evolve resistance to whatever particular antibody types the vaccine tends to cause the body to produce, since there would be more vaccinated people who could get infected. Then we'd be back to square 1, trying to develop a new vaccine for the new variant. We REALLY want to avoid that.
