It actually will, considering a giant 3rd wave is starting in many of these countries. I saw some rough french analysis that stated that for every 100k doses that are delayed for a day, it will cost 15 lives.

Germany for example has nearly 2 million doses they are delaying, so that's ~300 deaths per day that are caused by these delays. If you delay by a fortnight that's more deaths than on 9/11.

I'm not so sure about that - vaccination efforts are just finally starting to ramp up, so 2 weeks of vaccinations lost can be hundreds if not millions of people who could have been protected from covid, not to mention the side effects of these people getting infected on the already overloaded hospitals.
