Don't misunderstand - I think eventually most people should be vaccinated (including youths), but the benefit to the US of vaccinating 100% of its citizenry right now pales in comparison to the benefit of sharing those vaccines with other nations

People are missing the point. I'm not saying that the US should not vaccinate people, but the benefit to the US (and other rich countries) of vaccinating everyone before sharing *at all* is tiny compared to the benefit that those doses could have

Does this mean that some people in the US would be vaccinated a bit later? Yes. But it would almost certainly save many lives in less well-developed countries

Easy to forget that the US manages to both a high & LIMC at the same time

Very underrated comment. Appalachia, Indian reservations, parts of the urban areas, etc resemble LIMC.

How does the logistics of transport and such fit in? And how do they determine who gets the surplus? Not to mention, what determines if there's a "surplus"? Non-white young people who work as supermarket cashiers not getting vaccinated as a result?

My point is not about the minutia, which obviously are important, but that if your *default* position is that 100% of one country gets vaccinated before any sharing commences, it is not a good thing

Wouldn't not vaccinating the entire young population not leave a permanent reservoir for the virus?

What about young people with comorbidities? When to vaccinate them?

Shit, hadn't thought about that. Makes a lot of sense. Under what age do you think it would make sense? Could it delay the "re-opening"?
