I think the USA made the mistake of using the communication channels from the health authorities for political purposes. Trust in authorities is weakened and the effectiveness of their communications is now low. Every day they continue this they make it worse. It seems that spokesmen have had mixed stakes beyond being responsible for peoples' health.
There might be some progress if the authorities somehow "repented" and became trustworthy. There's probably a lot going on at the local level where the communication and organization is happening that I can't speak to.
At the moment, this seems to be coming to an end in western Europe. The majority of unvaccinated are young, and many have had covid. Delta variant is spreading covertly without causing much symptoms or illness, so few people are getting tests. If it can't be stopped, it might be preferable that it spreads during the summer. No one knows what happens this winter, but the outlook seems good.
