Admittedly the United States' rollout wasn't optimally efficient, and they prioritized American lives early on (before we knew exactly how mass vaccination would play out, mind you--much of your criticism benefits from hindsight). But it's unfair to criticize the US for prioritizing American lives over foreign lives when it's doing far more than all other countries combined to minimize the loss of foreign lives. I could spin that into a divisive shot at Canada or the EU as you've done with America (and I think I could make a much more compelling case), but I don't see the point in being divisive when we have nothing to gain and everything to lose from it.
Yes, the early days of COVID vaccination were predictably rocky. What's the excuse today for not working together to vaccinate the world?
