I agree with your sentiment, but the part about third world countries getting adequate access is more complicated than simply lacking access to shipments.
In many parts of Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, hesitancy, misinformation on social media, and lack of adequate institutions is now more of a hindrance than getting shipments.

- listless 5y agoI hope more people read this comment. I think there is a common misconception that we're hoarding vaccine while people in 3rd world countries are begging for it. That's just not true as far as I can tell. The vaccine hesitancy seems to be universal. I guess we can blame the internet for that too.
