Vaccinating the developed world is a start - but it isn't a panacea.
If the global Covid #s are accurate - the majority of the Covid infections happening are in the developed world.
It'd be great if we could stop the spread in the developing world - but we need to stop it in the developed world, too - or else mutations are still bound to happen.

- whimsicalism 5y agolol global covid #s are not close to accurate, obviously.
- angelzen 5y ago# observed infections = # of infections * probability of testing * probability of authority trustworthiness. Alas, in the developing world test penetration is low and authorities are not particularly trustworthy.
