> I'm sure it's true these vaccines would save more lives in developed nations One of the main points is that it is also in the average person's self interest to get the whole world vaccinated before a bunch of old people get boosters. It is likely even in the old person's self interest to reduce the odds of a new variant that isn't targeted by the vaccine. > Suppose a variant pops up that's deadly to children, Which is most likely to happen in the unvaccinated world. One of the main points is that it is also in the average person's self interest ... etc etc ad infinitum. Not getting the whole world vaccinated as quickly as possible is potentially catastrophic. No amount of boosters will be any good against a variant that ignores the vaccine-induced immune response (or non-response, really).
