I live in Israel. I got the vaccine by walking in and getting a spare at the end of the day, as mentioned in the article. The writer makes some valid points, but IMO the success is down to something less tangible. It's hard to define but there is a buzz in the air about it, and a strong sense of everyone pulling together to do what it takes. So many things need to work together well for an operation like this, that I don't think you can put it down to any one thing. But if you can get the sense of "drive" going, things slot into place. We don't trust our politicians much about anything, but we sense that even they have pulled out all the stops to make this happen. The actual process was like clockwork - the paperwork took 30 seconds - swipe HMO card and 5 questions, get the shot, wait 15 minutes and leave. No waiting. Yes, there's an election on the way which undoubtedly plays a part, but isn't that how democracy is meant to work - they do the best for us so we vote for them? Yes, they paid Pfizer more than most other countries, but since the total cost of the vaccines equates to around 2 days of lockdown, that sounds like a good investment.
