      Tens of millions of AstraZeneca vaccines that won't be approved here soon enough are languishing in US depots. Our supply already exceeds the number of Americans. Less than 1% of Africa has been vaccinated. President Biden: Let our surplus vaccines go—now. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/17/opinion/coronavirus-vaccine.html …pic.twitter.com/XSOCKKVjKk

      The AZ doses sitting in our warehouses are not approved for US now (trial not over)& won't be before we get the supply for everyone from approved ones. They don't help you, but there are places that have approved them that face transmissible variants now.https://twitter.com/MichaelDavSmith/status/1372165033698992135 …

      Can you help me understand why, if "Our supply already exceeds the number of Americans," I and so many people I know can't get an appointment?

      Many places face B117, a terrible variant against which these vaccines show little/no loss of efficacy. BUT CRUCIALLY LOSS OF EFFICACY AGAINST MILD/MODERATE DISEASE DOESN'T MEAN "NO PROTECTION." Immune system is not a seawall that just gets washed over. https://twitter.com/peteyreplies/status/1372166204606009344 …

      How is this remotely defensible "ANTIFA" secretary? We are sitting on doses we will never use. The manufacturing is here, going well and has three separate sources. People are dying right now. Plus, transmissible variants need *early* intervention. Now.https://twitter.com/MKMaybe/status/1372168083977158660 …

      Let’s not be too hasty. There have been batches of Pfizer that got thrown out because of temperature issues. Let’s make sure we have what we need for real before playing daddy to the rest of the world.

      I hear the people saying "why can't I get an appointment now." These vaccines gathering dust don't help because US trial isn't even concluded and it will not be approved before every eligible American is already offered an appointment. It won't help us. Let it do some good.

      Already made! By NYT reporting, we have 30 to 60 million doses of a vaccine that will not be approved in time to help the US supply languishing in Ohio and Baltimore. On top of that, there are pre-orders of excess hundreds millions—but that's separate.https://twitter.com/BarryCPearson/status/1372167156570406921 …

      Are they "languishing in US depots"? Or simply pre-ordered but not yet made? I'm UK: we have pre-ordered lots, but they are not "languishing in UK depots". UK will donate the surplus when they are made. Probably to COVAX, to which UK is a major contributor.

      AZ could be approved within a month, though. Although clearly the marginal benefit is higher in other countries, US will still have supply issues in mid-April or May.https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-astrazeneca-usa/exclusive-u-s-authorization-of-astrazeneca-vaccine-could-come-in-april-independent-monitors-assessing-data-us-official-idUSL1N2LD1PM …

      What you're suggesting here is that in addition to preventing ANY vaccine shipments to Canada (our doses are all coming from outside of N. America because you won't ship to us) you also want to hoard AZ doses (that you haven't approved) for healthy Americans in their 20s, MAYBE.

      People I know in their 40s in the U.S. have already gotten a shot, Alaska's letting 16 year olds sign up, and here in Ontario my Mom (73) can't even sign up for an appointment yet. Eventually Canadians are going to get mad at our doses coming from Europe & India but not Michigan.

          We've already hoarded them. I'm fine with letting them go (shots in arms now is better than later and covid is a global bad) but I'm saying is the claim about US supply being fine in a month is not true.

          "Eventually"? First, they let the disease spread like wildfire, and exposed Canada to it through the border. Then, they threatened to stop shipments of PPE. Now, they hoard vaccine. This Canadian is *already* mad.
