So, everyone still believes US is a fair country? How can they have 70 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine for their people when a big part of the world got noting?

 

No, just a big bully with an unfair amount of mucle. Turning something that should be fair into a we want it all, as usual. Shameful!

Impressive response since the change in administrations.

No biscuit if you don't risk it.

 

The U.S. government (as did other governments) pre-funded vaccine production at great risk. 

 

And we'll do our best to help everyone.

Just a very poor excuse to try and save the face of a devious and we take it all when we want nation. Still shameful! Live with it! The rest of the world is opening their eyes.

 

"No biscuit if you don't risk it." - Wow! A cliché sentence. Great job. Hip way of speaking more USBS. What was the risk with an investment in Covid-19 vaccine? Did you think the demand was going to go down before any profit was made? If so, please don´t try life of business on your own.

Spot on imo when we are in better condition here at home we will be reaching out giving others a hand up rite now we need to get our house in order first.I got my first jab allready no side effects btw things are starting to look up.I think a lot of the discrepancy we see in the #s received and administered is probably a 2ond dose hold back stay safe good luck!

[mtls2005]

Look I'd love to see some sort of fair and equitable global access/distribution, but not sure how that would work, unless Oprah is involved?

 

Countries don't really share their resources do they? Saudi Arabia annoucnes free oil for everyone.

 

I'd argue that the U.S. (private and public) does more to improve global health than any other country.

 

The Gates Foundation alone has spent billions and saved millions of lives, I mean when he isn't planting chips in people.

 

We all want a "fair" world. But some of us are also intelligent, realistic, reasonable and pragmatic. Give it a try.

Bite the hand that feeds you???? That´s one really deluded posting.

Like I said. You talk about America like the hand that feeds, but when it regarded the vaccine, you tell other nationalities to get it from China. The essence of the true American. Feel proud now!

Well, the US did buy the jabs....placed & funded orders last year.   If other countries want the jabs "now" those countries just need to buy them (or should have brought them if able); otherwise wait until WHO/U.N./other countries provide some free or really low cost  jabs.

It's thought after infection, you might only be immune for 6 months or so. Guaranteed not forever. Even the jab only provides protection for a year or so. And some don't protect against the new mutations.

Countries with the most Covid-19 cases should be given the priority when delivering vaccine to control the spread. US is the top country with most Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths. It is fair that US get the vaccine first.

I know exactly what it means. USA is not doing anything good anywhere at the moment. Their own country in chaos, people are dying like flies out of Covid.19 and enormous economical problems to deal with. The only thing they are creating is chaos in other countries and always trying to micro manage the world. I don´t have much respect for a country that can´t have the same laws for their people.

pffft! The only thing here, is that they have the most disoranized country in the world, and whetever they tell or ask people to do they refuse. That´s why there is so much deaths and cases. Should the rest of the world suffer for that idiotic system and people that don´t care?

You don't have to like it or accept it. You just have to live with it.  We can complain daily of the inequities everywhere in the world, but it does not change the facts.  With Covid-19 and vaccinations it appears that the US has finally started to see declines for the first time in the pandemic albeit there are still large amounts of cases.

Would you rather they didnt? , and why do you think they are making the rest of the world suffer when they are using vaccines produced wholly inside of their  borders.

Okay, okay, no need to repeat ad nauseum that you hate the US.  As other posters have mentioned, the vaccines being administered here in the US were funded by the US taxpayers and manufactured here in the US.

While I understand the ethical considerations of fair distributions of vaccines around the world, that notion likely runs somewhat counter to the obligation of a President or Prime Minister to foremost protect his/her own people.  I guess what you're arguing is that, for example, the US or UK or German government should provide the same help to somebody in Timbuktu as their own citizens?  They'd likely be recalled from office if they did that.

Nah, what I mean is not that they provide same help. I am just posting about that they just not shut down the distribution, like it seems they have.

Again, making comments unsupported by any facts.  Now, help us all out and tell us how the US has shut down or hampered the manufacturing or distribution of any vaccine anywhere in the world.  (Saving you some ink from your keyboard.....the US hasn't done so)
