Seems like a disingenuous title, as its own data shows it's fifth in terms of rollout (third for 2 doses). Yes it's distributed the most as far as pure numbers, but that's only because of how large the country is compared to Israel, and therefore can dedicate more resources and manpower (and needs to) for its distribution.
If anything the title should be 'Israel's vaccine rollout is world-beating'.
U.S. is doing pretty well compared to most other countries though, for sure.
Also the U.S. needs to be good at this because it's been so terrible at managing it otherwise. Countries like Australia and New Zealand and some countries in Asia can be more careful with vaccination approval because it's done such an excellent job of handling the virus, so well that it actually has to balance the side effects of the vaccine versus not getting vaccinated.
The US has to go "Well, at least the vaccine is better than the very good chance you're going to get Covid-19", which is basically what the emergency approval means.
