America is still looking at 2k+ deaths weekly even with mRNA vaccine and sparsely populated cities. Triple the population and pack the cities tighter and the weekly death count suddenly don't seem that acceptable.

COVID deaths in the US and the rest of the world are overwhelmingly among the unvaccinated (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/united-states-rates-of-covid-19-deaths-by-vaccination-status?country=~50%2B).
If the goal was truly to reduce deaths why not import mRNA vaccines in addition to lockdowns? Would that not logically be the best decision if all they care about is keeping the death count down? Why keep out the most effective vaccines?

You are right. Covid fatalities in the US are overwhelmingly among those who did not have access to vaccines or those who did not take the doses. CDC data showed 92.7% of covid deaths were among said people.
