So really: Anybody with more than two braincells to rub together. Impeding the development of a vaccine because you fear that you personally will not be able to afford it is the worst kind of stupid. The kind of stupid which leaves you feeling self-righteous but harms others.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoNo, just anyone with more than two but less than five brain cells, which would be enough to understand the concepts of malicious actors and game theory. The real question is whether the fear was well-founded. What does history say about it? Does US have a habit of taking free samples only to turn around and profit on them later? If it does, then it's a Dane-Geld scenario and Indonesia would be stupid to comply without trying to secure access to the vaccine for its own people. If this was the case (I haven't read anything about it), then it would be more of an US fault for halting the progress.
