I don't think the US will ever get to 80%, but more importantly Denmark has 95%+ in the 50+ age group, which is still by far the most likely to end up in hospital. A lot of US vaccination hesitancy seems to be in the older population, which ultimately means more deaths.

>A lot of US vaccination hesitancy seems to be in the older population, which ultimately means more deaths. I wonder where you got this impression, because it is exactly backwards. The older an American is, the higher the vaccination rate. 93% of Americans over 65 have at least one dose. Highest hesitancy is with the young who have very low chances of personal complication. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations_vacc-total-admin-rate-total https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations_vacc-...
