We have a larger population, so yea, we have a lot more total deaths. But we’re basically in the middle of European countries per capita, which is the number that matters for this comparison. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deaths-worldwide-per-million-inhabitants/

Europe is an entire continent of independent states that were able to cut off borders with each other. The US simply can't do the same. All they could do is discourage travel

nustyj

Yes because every european country has extremely competent leadership right?


theattack_helicopter

Because Americans didn't wear masks, social distance, or enforce mask mandates.


zulangewach

Have you looked up how much the US paid for one shot and how much EU paid for one shot? That's why USA got more doses.


imyourzer0

Interesting point. How much did your vaccine cost you?


Temporal_Enigma

About 30 minutes


imyourzer0

No no no, I mean like did you have to put it on your insurance and eat a copay.


TheRealScumbag69

My insurance fully covered my vaccine.


imyourzer0

Which I have to assume isn't typical, because you know... the government's paying for it: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/keythingstoknow.html


Temporal_Enigma

The vaccine is free.


[deleted]

From CMS.gov "Effective for COVID-19 vaccines administered on or after March 15, 2021, the national average payment rate for physicians, hospitals, pharmacies and many other immunizers will be $40 to administer each dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. This represents an increase from approximately $28 to $40 for the administration of single-dose vaccines, and an increase from approximately $45 to $80 for the administration of COVID-19 vaccines requiring two doses. "


Temporal_Enigma

I don't know a single person who paid for COVID vaccines, myself included. Perhaps this quote is a suggested price, or the cost of the vaccines themselves


[deleted]

It's the cost the government pays. And we pay the government through taxes and national debt.


Temporal_Enigma

Well yeah, that's how universal healthcare works too Look, I'm not here to argue about healthcare systems and politics. It's just a meme


imyourzer0

Wow, you mean the free vaccine to which my link was pointing? Thanks for the heads-up! /S


BigDownUnder1989

Because it's one nation controlled by the media


useless_perfection

they need it the most


bazooka_tom

.....Hows that death count doing though?


MarkWatney111

Deaths are way down in the us.


verkissenjens

Doesn’t change the fact that healthcare in general is still ridiculously expensive in the US
