Israel has never failed to impress me. To inoculate its entire population within two months is no easy feat. There is much for us to learn from them.

Israel has a number of strategic advantages over most other countries in the world:
- Small population (101st place in the world)
- High population density (17th place in the world)
- High level of wealth (19th in GDP per capita)
- Great infrastructure (23rd in the world)
- Extremely well-equipped army
While some of these are shared by other countries, like city-states in Europe, Singapore, Hong Kong, or countries like The Netherlands and Denmark, the most important differentiator for Israel is this - one of the (if not THE) most powerful political lobbies in the world. I don't think Muhyiddin, for instance, could call the CEO of any of the vaccine manufacturers at 2am at night to ask him for a favor.

Not to worry. The hardest step is always the first step. Once vaccinations starts, bottlenecks are quickly ironed out, and numbers will snowball
