Many Americans are quick to assert that the US is #1, but many of these same people do not understand how systemic failures (health care, racism, poverty) and personal failures (lack of responsibility, anti-science bias) have converged to make the US response to COVID is one of the worst in the world.  And most of these people have no interest in learning why, either.

The US may have to pay people to get vaccinated.

Americans talk a big game, but when push comes to shove you'll see more than that 65% get the vaccine voluntarily. The next step will be to make it mandatory to attend school. Just as California does now for most vaccines with no religious or personal exemptions. Many workplaces will do the same. I think that gets us to 80% getting the vaccine.
