This man single-handedly defeated COVID-19, COVID-20, and COVID-21! Find out how he did it on page 58!
From your lips to God's ears. May we have the infrastructure in place to get the shots in arms by then too.
There is no reason why this couldn't be done already. The US and the UK are the only countries that don't supply other countries with their current production.
The US government bought and paid for these doses, funded development, and helped build the factories.
Pfizer didn't participate to Operation Warspeed, the vaccine development was funded by Germany and the factories were certainly existing decades before this.
Compared to the rest of the countries around the world, that also bought and paid for their doses (at an extra above what EU or USA paid), and also funded early development of factories by paying a good chunk of the money when the deal was signed (and not as they were getting the vaccines).
Sure, but none of those contracts were for vaccine made in the United States.
You could have just said that to begon with, America first, and not go through bs of America being a unique case among all countries.
What are you even talking about? I said that when supply overtakes demand, we might be able to send vaccine to other countries.
So America First. Let's not pretend otherwise. Canada, Israel and others are really happy the EU didn't do that.
Because companies like Pfizer/countries like Canada explicitly were scared Trump would nationalize the factories if they thought about exporting.
So after USA is fully vaccinated or has enough vaccines saved to do it? Aka, America first
Not if US citizens cheer on Trumpian politics and pretend they are humanitarian about supplying other countries in a couple of months time.
Sure, but none of those contracts were for vaccine made in the United States.
The bottom line is that the US is still nowhere close to meeting demand. Give it a few months. There will be plenty of surplus in time to help the rest of the world.
Then you should write your MEP, or however else citizens can democratically influence EU leadership.
The best way to end this is by vaccinating everyone in the world and minimize the chance of any possible variation appearing in a non-vaccinated country that creates a set back for all. Fully vaccinating your country while your neighbors arent is not a good plan as it can lead to those kind of problems. It sells great for the domestic media tho.
Of course. That's why the United States has pledged more to COVAX than all of Europe combined.

Vaccines that are right now coming from EU (Pfizer and Moderna) and Indian (AZ) factories, while the US production is busy only with the US, with them coming later on (at which time US and other western countried will probably donate the majority of their overflow vaccines as they have over ordered for safety).Of course. That's why the United States has pledged more to COVAX than all of Europe combined.
Biden to pledge $4 billion to vaccinate poorer countries at G7 meeting Friday

Vaccines that still, so far, primarily paid for by the United States. It's great that other countries are supplying them but they aren't doing so for free.
Through various initiatives, the EU and its countries are bringing 16 billion into the global rollout.
This is graph is so frustrating because White Republicans are also the people who want to eat at a packed restaurant while licking the tables to own the libs. They're going to hold us back for what might be years.Sure, but none of those contracts were for vaccine made in the United States.

The US is one of the worst hit countries with this and is nowhere close to getting people vaccinated although it's ramping up rapidly.

Unfortunately, we don't live in an ideal world where countries will prioritize or support other countries first before theirs. It will always be their own citizens before others. That's just how it is.
