中新网6月28日电 (蒋鲤)美国白宫疫情应对协调员杰弗里·齐恩茨(Jeffrey Zients)当前在疫情简报会上承认，美国没有办法达成拜登总统5月初宣告的在7月4当前让70%的美国成年人接种至少1剂新冠疫苗的指标。

　　美国不但对内接种指标没有办法依期达成，拜登政府在6月底前向国外提供8000万剂疫苗援助的计划也面对延迟。白宫21日推出剩余5500万剂疫苗的分配计划，只是，白宫同一时间显示，源于疫苗援助须要克服库存、运输及言语阻碍等多方面挑战，此刻不行确保剩余的5500万剂疫苗能够在月底前发货。

　　据约翰斯·霍普金斯大学数据显现，截止27日，全世界累计新冠确诊病例超越1.81亿例，美国累计确诊3362万例。在美国国家内部疫情无获得有用操控，全世界疫情情势依然严峻的今日，疫苗是对抗新冠病毒的最有力武器，理应及时分配。然则，具有十足疫苗储备的美国却患上惨重的“拖延症”，迟迟没有办法达成本人许下的承诺。

　　对内，美国将没有办法达成国家内部疫苗接种指标的“锅”甩给年青人，声称“美国年青人以为新冠病毒对它们的作用较小，因而接种意愿不强。”殊不知，它们所谓的“接种意愿不强”，相当大水平上是源于美国政府疫情初期就未赐予新冠病毒充足的重视。时任美国总统特朗普甚而曾将新冠称为“大号流感”，误导了众多民众。无重视就无紧迫感。正是由于美国政府一年多来对新冠疫情的不重视，才导致了美人民众接种指标的“拖延”。

　　而在对外援助上，虽然拜登早就宣告将于6月底前与其它国度分享8000万剂疫苗，却在距离截至日期仅剩一周多的时间才推出具体的分配计划。诚然，疫苗援助需面临美国政府所声称的库存、运输及言语阻碍等多个困难，但假如有个确实可以的计划，这点难题其实不会作用援助疫苗的“发货时间”。

　　作为大国政府，美国应当在设立指标之初就制订出相应的计划，更应未雨绸缪，提早考量各式难题要素，而非是等到指标没有办法达成时推卸责任，顾左右而言他。“美国年青人接种意愿不高”、“疫苗库存、运输难度高”等一系列所谓的“难题”是美国政府和白宫智囊团队所没有办法预见的吗？赫然非是。正确普遍防疫常识，就可以相应地提升民众接种疫苗的踊跃性；提早制订并实行疫苗援助计划，就可以及时 “发货”；至于言语阻碍难题，更不可能对疫苗援助带来如许之大的作用……因此看来，美国政府的指标没有办法达成，非是由于它们不行，却是由于它们不愿，“拖延”最重要的仍是态度的难题。美国政府在疫苗接种和援助上的“拖延症”使人不禁怀疑，它们之前给出的所谓指标和承诺，究竟是依据实质概况所制订下去的可以指标，仍是打肿脸充胖子的“政治作秀”？

　　面临病毒的蔓延和病例的增添，美国政府与其忙着制订不确实际的指标，以及为本人的“拖延症”寻觅借口，不如踏踏实实地向美人民众普遍疫情的惨重性和接种疫苗的必需性，早日将所库存的每一剂疫苗分配到真实须要他们的人手中。

　　Is U.S. government COVID-19 'procrastination' getting worse?

　　By John Lee

　　(ECNS) -- The United States will likely fall short of President Joe Biden’s goal of partially vaccinating 70 percent of American adults by Independence Day, said Jeffrey Zients, head of the White House COVID-19 response team, on June 22.

　　In addition to the delayed domestic vaccination goals, the U.S. government will also put off its plan to provide 80 million doses of vaccine assistance overseas set by the end of June as the White House announced on June 21 there was no guarantee the scheduled 55 million doses would be delivered by the end of this month due to "storage, transportation and language barriers."

　　As of June 27, more than 181 million COVID-19 cases were confirmed worldwide, and the figure in the U.S. has topped 33,620,000, according to Johns Hopkins University. Under current conditions, vaccines are still the most powerful weapon against COVID-19 and should be allocated in time. However, the U.S., which has sufficient vaccine reserves, suffers from serious procrastination and seems unable to fulfill its promises.

　　The U.S. government is blaming young Americans for failing to meet domestic vaccination targets, claiming they think COVID-19 has little impact and therefore, are less willing to get vaccinated. However, their so-called "less willing" is largely due to the fact that the U.S. government did not pay enough attention to the virus in the early stages of the epidemic. Former U.S. President Donald Trump even referred to the coronavirus as the "corona flu", which misled many Americans and caused the delay of vaccination goals.

　　In terms of global vaccine assistance, although Biden had announced his administration would share 80 million doses of vaccines with other countries before the end of June, he just released a detailed distribution plan about one week before the deadline for implementation. It's true that vaccine assistance faces storage, transportation and language barrier difficulties, but if there is a practical plan, these issues would not delay delivery.

　　As a major power in the world, the U.S. should have formulated a corresponding plan in the beginning and taken all kinds of factors into consideration in advance, instead of passing the buck when its goals cannot be achieved. The U.S. government and White House think tank should have foreseen the so-called "difficulties" mentioned above.

　　Correct popularization of epidemic prevention knowledge can help boost vaccination among the youth. Developing and implementing a vaccine assistance plan in advance can help ensure in-time delivery. As for language barriers, it is unlikely to have a significant impact on vaccine distribution. To sum up, the U.S. government's goals cannot be achieved, not because it cannot, but because it does not want to, with such "procrastination" a matter of attitude.

　　Amid U.S. "procrastination" in vaccination and global assistance, people can't help wonder whether the so-called goals and promises given by the U.S. government are feasible, and whether it is based on actual conditions or just a "political show".

　　In the face of a spreading virus and increasing cases, it is better for the U.S. government to popularize epidemic prevention knowledge and vaccinate the American people than find an excuse for "procrastination". The most important thing for the U.S. now is to distribute every dose of vaccine to those who really need them as soon as possible.
