Indeed, but Germany achieving that outcome by making this a PR war will just make global cooperation less likely. This needs to be achieved by the EU leveraging as much cash as it can from other countries with an agreement to distribute the vaccine by some WHO index of need. In this way, you outbid the US by showing collaboration works. We can't waver on global health priorities, but let the USA admin shout its way into darkness alone and not drag in global cooperation with it.
