It increasingly looks like many European countries that didn’t manage to hit on the accelerator for vaccination (everyone besides UK, I think?) may risk another terrible surge from B.1.1.7. (UK also delayed boosters to increase coverage quickly). Exponentials are dangerous.https://twitter.com/BNODesk/status/1370833735717957635 …

Both the US and the UK botched many aspects of their pandemic response. But vaccination isn’t “one more tool” somehow equal or similar to the others in our toolkit. Make that happen, and things can improve quickly despite issues . Miss that? Things can tip back quickly.

Increase supply of the vaccines, and distribute globally. That’s what we have to do in 2021.https://twitter.com/jhsugden/status/1370840343126622210 …

Europeans see the current situation as a continuation of Trump's "America First!" policy, suggesting that he wasn't just a one-off, but reflective of widespread American attitudes towards the world. Truly barbaric to not release the AZ doses to the EU, Brazil, and Mexico *today.*

Exactly right! “America First! is what America is” is how it’s perceived. There’s significant anger over here and it’s not something that will easily be forgotten. It’s unconsciousable that these vaccines are sitting in storage and not deployed to hotspots.
