Why can't the US just vaccinate all the needed population just once by June 1st 2021?
Biden himself said today there is enough to do that (one shot for every American). It will only give 2/3rd immunity....but...is not that better than no immunity at all? It takes '2' shots to be fully immune. But at only 15 million/ mo fully immune as now, it ill take years....won't it... to get to 270 million?

Not everyone trusts the vaccine anyway. I'm not taking it until it's FDA-approved. Not because I'm an anti-vaxxer, which I'm not (I don't think vaccines cause autism or some dumb things like that), but because an emergency release by the FDA is not the same as approving it. We don't know enough about it yet. You can't just round people up and force them to take a vaccine, especially if it's just the first dose.
Sure, if there was enough to give everyone the second shot (of those getting the 2 dose type) in a reasonable time period. The first alone isn't nearly effective enough, since the second vaccine exposure is supposed to get a bigger immune response and create the antibodies needed, more-so than the first shot.
