>if we let the virus spread unchecked in the poorer countries
It's spreading unchecked now in the USA because people are refusing the vaccine. The scenario you describe is absolutely going to happen, but it won't be because of poorer nations, it will be because of selfish people in rich nations.
- leesec 5y agoPretty baseless to assume where a variant is going to spread or why. It's not like every country other than USA would have 100% vaccine uptake either.
- minikites 5y agoI think it's reasonable to place more of the blame on people who choose not to help (refusing the vaccine) instead of the people who don't have the means to help (unable to get a vaccine).
- __s 5y agoThe original comment was laying blame on the cause of people unable to get a vaccine, not the people themselves. Incidentally that puts them in agreement with you: selfish people in richer nations
