      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 …

      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 feel like once we are a bit closer to being fully vaccinated and/or fewer people are left who will take the vaccinations, the US will start getting it to people everywhere else.

          corporate lobbying laundromat CSIS had an absolutely cursed zoom panel earlier today on why Biden should oppose the patent waiver at the WTO featuring Chris Coons, Chief IP Counsel for Johnson & Johnson and the Chief Patent Counsel for Pfizer. Will post most demonic clips later.

          I think the idea is to do that once the demand is less than supply. His first responsibility is to the people of the nation, but he should absolutely begin sending doses overseas as a gesture of goodwill

          America is proving that it is without strong allies. Russia might test that soon.

          Can you imagine what would happen if he were shipping vaccines in the middle of a fourth wave? Optics, unfortunately, matter.

          BS. When the Amerikan economy was a shambles long Before Coronavirus, Amerika can't retain global power when GM recently went broke & middle-class jobs are very few & daily downsized in droves & 43% of past five years college grads in U.S. were underemployed in 2018.

          Biden is going to vaccinate America first. Once he has enough vaccines for us he will work on the rest. He is handling things in the optimal way for our political reality. The pivot is actually coming very soon.
