With this speed, the world completes the vaccination in 29 years

Really, I really need to 'congratulate' the world and all of its governments with the 'competence' concerning the vaccination against the COVID-19 virus, which will be completed on Sunday, 15th of August 2049. The vaccination campaign will take 10,480 days or 28.7 years to finish. It's the height of human incompetence, never shown in the history of mankind ever. It's also very hard to beat this.

If this doesn't change, it means that humankind has the 'pleasure' to wear masks, keep social distancing and enjoy the pleasures of the national closures amid vaccinations for almost 29 years. I suggest to research ways to get the masks permanently attached to any human on the planet.

I understand that the speed of the vaccinations will go up in the future (I hope and assume so). But as we will see, many governments are not in a hurry to start massive vaccination programs.

Many news media and governments in the world are claiming that populations are hesitant and/or unwillingly to be vaccinated. That's a wrong thing to say. It's better to state that governments all over the world are hesitant to start the vaccination programs for their populations, as we can see based on the numbers. I would say first start to vaccinate the people willingly to be vaccinated and to worry about the rest later.

I suspect it's a question of money.

Worldwide crisis

I would say that we're in a World War, fighting a pandemic. We can call it WW C. And it's true. In order to get rid of the pandemic, we need to work all together, each country in the world, if they like it or not. Because if they don't, the pandemic will not finish and continues to ravish the world, time after time.

How longer the pandemic will last, how more the coronavirus will mutate. The risk that there will be a real deadly mutation appear becomes greater each day that there is a delay to vaccinate the world population.

Talking about the mutations. It's also a question of time that there will be a mutation of the coronavirus, which isn't covered in the current available vaccinations. In that case, the whole vaccination campaign will start from scratch.

The Spanish Flu pandemic (with about 500 million infections and 100 million death in two years) will be child's game compared with such mutations spreading around the world.

Countries like India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, South Africa, Taiwan and Ukraine are taking it easy to start the vaccine campaign for their populations. They seem to be in no hurry to start. For example, South Africa will start their vaccination campaign in June 2021. It's obvious the issue of money, but the UN has also time enough. They don't see the hurry to finance third world countries. Maybe they can get their new friend President Elect Biden to pay for them.

Worldwide, we are at the start of the vaccine campaign, kicked off at the fifth of December 2020 (Russia started at that date) and it's in its 39^th day.

For those not trusting my statements and want to double check the validity, here you can double check the facts.

I've packaged everything in a zip (compressed) file and you can download the file here.

• The raw data originates from the Data Repository by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University.  The datafiles are included in the zip file.
• The data about the state of vaccinations are partly from news media (particular the date when the vaccinations started) and the Bloomberg vaccination tracker. The data is integrated in the spreadsheet, which is located in the zip file (populations tab).
• If prefer not to rely on the news sources from the national governments in the news media, because many times they do not match with the raw data from the CSSE.
