The United States has made remarkable progress in vaccinating large swathes of its population since the beginning of the year. Despite near walk-in availability of vaccines across the country, however, a significant portion of the population–nearly 30%–has not receive any dose of available vaccines. 

Infection and mortality rates are dropping precipitously and steadily across all vaccinated groups in the United States. This good news belies the fact that COVID remains as pernicious and deadly (if not more so, thanks to these pesky variants) among unvaccinated Americans. Summertime temperatures, and indoor congregating and shared A/C, will likely see a final surge among unvaccinated Americans in the sunbelt states stretching from California through Georgia before the end of the year. If you have not yet received your vaccine, we here at Zeihan at Geopolitics urge you to do so.

Heck, you might even get a free beer!


If you enjoy our free newsletters, the team at Zeihan on Geopolitics asks you to consider donating to Feeding America.

The economic lockdowns in the wake of COVID-19 left many without jobs and additional tens of millions of people, including children, without reliable food. Feeding America works with food manufacturers and suppliers to provide meals for those in need and provides direct support to America’s food banks.

Food pantries are facing declining donations from grocery stores with stretched supply chains. At the same time, they are doing what they can to quickly scale their operations to meet demand. But they need donations – they need cash – to do so now.

Feeding America is a great way to help in difficult times.

The team at Zeihan on Geopolitics thanks you and hopes you continue to enjoy our work.
