It seems many governments did this, though.

"We've bought some time, what should we do now? Maybe shore up our healthcare system in case a wave hits us?"

"No. We... wait.".

Pretty much this. I have friends in Singapore and they kept case numbers very low and didn’t feel a lot of pressure to secure vaccine supplies ASAP. Then subsequent waves hit and they realized “were going to stay locked down for 5 years if we don’t vaccinate”.
