Good example of "screw the world" that is quite common there.
US is hoarding vaccines it doesn't need right now and the rest of the world (except UK, which has so much common with US that it is almost funny) is vaccinating everyone right away with their vaccines.
I really hope it will be remembered after it is all over.
- _benedict 6y agoThe UK is not hoarding, every vaccine is being used. The EU so far is doing very little to vaccinate the world, for all its current moralising focus on shipping of a handful of doses to richer countries.
