That your fellow Americans are needlessly dying because of antivax grifters who delude for personal gain and profit? You don't sound like a patriot!
No great victory there. If you can’t vaccinate 4 million people then something is wrong with your country. Before anyone bursts forth and tells me that the population of New Zealand is 5 million, only 4 million (4.2) are eligible for a vaccine. Most other countries have cities larger than that.
You mean a tiny country of a handful of islands, and without the stupid political division people like you encourage?
Man, I wonder why the situation is different.

Your post seems to suggest that abysmal vaccine uptake in the US is due to logistical problems. It's not though, far from it. It's due to the fact that there are many more loons and antivax grifters per capita in the US than there are in New Zealand.

What does the size of the country have to do with it? Vaccines are widely available in the US to anyone who wants them. The only people encouraging political division in the US are the crazy antivaxxers (guess what political affiliation they are overwhelmingly associated with?) filling up ICU's to own the libs.

I can't imagine the mentality of anyone who would hold up New Zealand as a positive example in this context. The most racist country of all the developed economic countries in the world. New Zealand is a shameful example with respect to Covid and vaccines.

And yet with all those barriers, that obviously deserve to be addressed, New Zealand has overtaken the US. Never said New Zealand was a paragon of virtue or governance. Just used it to highlight how dysfunctional the US has become.
Vaccines are working so well we're being ordered to get a second booster in just 6 months! That's what success looks like.

I didn't know there were so many Republicans in Haarlem, the Bronx, and south Brooklyn

Well, more than in Amsterdam, anyway.
Political partisanship is a much more significant contributor to lagging vaccination rates than race or ethnicity. Also, not only is the racial gap in vaccinations closing, there is overwhelming evidence that the most obstinate and unrelenting resistance to vaccination is coming from white Republicans.
"According to Kaiser Foundation, the U.S.’s remaining population of unvaccinated people tend to be younger, less educated, and Republican. And among people who are the most opposed to vaccines, those who say they will “definitely not” get a vaccine, 65% of them are white.
In Texas, for instance, the counties with the 10 lowest percentages of fully vaccinated people, each under 30%, also lean heavily Republican, with at least 80% of the votes cast in those counties going to former President Donald Trump in the November election.
“Clearly the overwhelming vaccine hesitant group in the country tend to come from conservative groups,” said Dr. Peter Hotez, co-director of the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children’s Hospital and dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine."
