Unless proven otherwise, I believe the current administration has mostly good people working their butts off to fight COVID-19.  Unfortunately, I also believe their poor COVID-19 handling has been leading to large human life and economic losses. Here is why: 1. Vaccination They have done a good job in administering vaccines, but their stubborn stance on double-dose will eventually have caused extra loss of 50-100K lives. The purple line would probably be the mortality rate if the US had done the same as the UK by doing single-dose. Crude estimates show that 2M doses applied to 2M 65+ people with the single-dose scheme save 644 lives while 2M doses applied to 1M 65+ people with the double-dose scheme save 336 lives assuming 10% of them are infected.  Single-dose first also almost double the speed in achieving herd immunity.  Therefore, the UK’s mortality rate dropped rapidly.  The CDC either has or can easily collect the data of reinfection. Chances are the mortality rate of reinfect
