    1. One thing I don't understand is how this vaccine nationalism fits in with the avowed goal to reassert American global leadership. If you wanted USA to remain top dog, using vaccines exports to assert dominance seems like a no-brainer.https://twitter.com/adam_tooze/status/1385558533719175170 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Adam Tooze @adam_tooze
    Biden’s vaccine triumph is a triumph for a policy of "America First". Unlike Trump, it doesn’t trumpet that fact, but it is all the more effective on that account. EU has exported five times more vaccine doses to America’s NAFTA “partners" Mexico&Canada than the US has. https://twitter.com/DaveKeating/status/1385535841058140164 …

        2. I mean, imagine if Biden used vaccines the way JFK did the Peace Corps or the Space Race: a way to demonstrate the unparalleled superiority of American science, manufacturing capacity & distribution networks. That would be an easy way to retain global power.

        I mean, there is essentially No practical downside to exporting AZ at this point as it may never get approved and American vaccine hesitancy is the bigger factor than supply now even without it. It’s just insanity.

        Most likely Biden and others in his administration genuinely think America’s interests are better served by maximizing vaccination availability to the American people then by exporting them abroad.

        That's because the plan is to SHRINK the power of the USA. All this and more is what Trump fought against... But he was uncouth so his message didn't matter 😂

        Don't think it would play out very well if Americans couldn't get vaccines because we were exporting. Biden admin knows their fate will be decided based on how fast covid issue disappears and if America is first Western country to do it, he basically achieves goal of "USA Rocks"
