More progressive and technocratic countries — with both center-left and center-right leaders, like Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea — were doing a better job containing the pandemic. The pattern seemed to make sense: Politicians who believed in the ability of bureaucracies to accomplish complex jobs were succeeding at precisely that. But over the last few weeks, as vaccination has become a top priority, the pattern has changed.

A health worker administering a Covid-19 vaccine in Hod Hasharon, Israel.Jack Guez/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images International patterns are rarely perfect, and this one has plenty of exceptions (like Iowa and Idaho, two red-state laggards, or New Mexico, a blue state that’s above average). So far, though, it’s hard to find many progressive governments that are vaccination role models. Why? A common problem seems to be a focus on process rather than on getting shots into arms. Some progressive leaders are effectively sacrificing efficiency for what they consider to be equity. The European Union has taken a ponderous, risk-averse approach that tries to avoid upsetting its member countries, Kauffmann points out. Similarly, many U.S. states have delegated decisions to local health officials and have suffered from “confusion and competition among localities,” [William Galston](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRh_6-KP4QWAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmJyb29raW5ncy5lZHUvYmxvZy9maXhnb3YvMjAyMS8wMS8yNS9jb3ZpZC0xOS12YWNjaW5hdGlvbnMtd2h5LWFyZS1zb21lLXN0YXRlcy1hbmQtbG9jYWxpdGllcy1zby1tdWNoLW1vcmUtc3VjY2Vzc2Z1bC8_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIxMDIwNCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0yNjc5NCZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NTEwNTMmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmAaiiodYPgZZJNSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) of the Brookings Institution has written.

The world has one new, and very high-profile, progressive government with a chance to show it can do better: the Biden administration. The Trump administration fell far short of its own goal for vaccination speed, but by its final days it did get the country close to President Biden’s stated goal of 1 million shots per day. Biden has since suggested his new goal is [1.5 million per day](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRh_6-KP0TmaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wMS8yNS91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9iaWRlbi1jb3JvbmF2aXJ1cy12YWNjaW5hdGlvbnMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjEwMjA0Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTI2Nzk0Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD01MTA1MyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYBqKKh1g-Blkk1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA).
