LETTER: Incompetent SA far behind dynamic US
If the government cannot do it, inoculation should be handed over to the private sector
According to various US new sources, the country was already approaching a vaccination rate of 1-million shots a day when Joe Biden was inaugurated, nearly guaranteeing the target would be achieved. However, Biden did outline that the country would hit the threshold this week, just 60 days into his presidency, with vaccinations sharply accelerating to a pace of more than 2.2-million shots per day.
That’s what can be done in a dynamically managed country with competent people who do a day’s work in a day. Is it not a disgrace that SA is so incompetent that we, the people, do not even know when we will start being inoculated, or at what rate? How otherwise will the projected coming winter Covid-19 onslaught be confronted?..
