    Some people really have no idea how supply chains work. You refusing a vaccine for your child in a high-income country isn't going to magically make the dose available for an elderly person in India

        I agree wholeheartedly that the global vaccine equity situation is a disaster, but at an individual level the difference you can make is sadly quite small

        There have been concerted, global efforts to send vaccine doses from rich countries to poor for nearly 12 months already, the problems are systemic and deeply engrained

        In the US it just means that dose will sit and maybe expire. We should be sharing our surplus doses, but we are currently not. So, if you have the opportunity to get a shot for your kid just do it you're not taking it away from an Indian grandma.

        If anything not getting your dose might actually take them away from someone abroad bc America is still going to hold on to doses as part of efforts to get America vaccinated so the doses we let expire may cause us to withhold the more future doses from the world

        It reminds me of first world children being told to finish their plates of food because there were starving children in Africa. All it did was ingrain the habit of eating too much. People can definitely make a difference but not through ignoring the steps in the process.

        That's right! They tried to feed those kids creamed spinach and they also spit that stuff out.
