Having had epidemics previously or having advanced genomic capability doesn’t imply a robust logistics network for the world’s first RNA vaccines which require particularly cold refrigeration.

I understand the impulse to cheer for third world countries, but we can be realistic about their challenges while also opposing poverty and prejudice.
