I'm not so sure. Israel, Singapore, UK and US are among the higher vaccination rates countries but that does not necessarily correlate to lower population-normalized death rates. Take a look at 91-divoc.com (3rd graph down for countries, population normalized). Note the 1-week average death rates for high vaccination countries versus low vaccination countries like India, Indonesia, Zimbabwe, etc (where repurposed drugs are being used for prophylaxis and early treatment).

There is so much misreporting and distortion of data by the MSM and governmental agencies that it's difficult to tell what is really going on. I basically don't trust anything but the actual Johns Hopkins data on the above site (and there's no guarantee that's accurately being reported to them).

If instead of Warp Speed vaccines, we had focused on prophylaxis and early treatment using repurposed drugs (like HCQ and IVM), we could have saved hundreds of thousands of USA lives and probably eradicated covid before the vaccines were even available. Research Uttar Pradesh province (population 240M vis 350M here) in India for an example where they basically eradicated covid. And it would have been done at a tiny fraction of the cost of Warp Speed. But that would not have benefited BIg Pharma financially or our politicians' need for power.

P.S. I think you were in Phillippines previously so you may be familiar with the Philippine Daily Inquirer:
