No, the US arranged to buy far more vaccines at a quicker rate than most european countries, however are below Hungary and the UK in terms of people vaccinated. Does this mean that Hungary and the UK have a better work ethic? Looking at western vaccines Pfizer–BioNTech -- developed in Germany Oxford–AstraZeneca -- developed in the UK Moderna -- developed in the US Johnson & Johnson -- developed in the Netherlands How does the "US Research Power" play into that? https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths Says that in the last 7 days there were 1.32 deaths/100k in the US and 1.37 in the EU, so even with all that money in buying up the vaccines it hasn't saved lives. In Hungary and the UK where vaccine rates are similar to the US, deaths/100k were 0.87 and 0.25 respectively.
