      Disagree. We should be honest. IT IS A ZERO-SUM GAME. Vaccine manufacturers are not able to meet demand. Production is already maxed out. If we hoard or have vaccines expire rather than share, that doesn't make it a non zero-sum game, it just makes us morally bankrupt.https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1438103141216575490 …

      Now with two injections (sorry) of nuance: 1) I don’t think it’s helpful to think of vaccine supply as a zero-sum game. Vaccine manufacturers respond to demand, and it’s not as simple as booster doses being diverted from Africa

      I think that there are a ton of wasted doses due to our distribution strategy and lots of boosters could actually be given without impacting exports. Multi dose vials, time limits after thawing, inability to pool from different vials repeated at many small sites - it adds up.

      Agree! We should squeeze every last bit through efficiencies like you mention, and I don't even disagree that boosters for some may be warranted and possible without major impacts. Just that the wealthy world cannot offer third booster for all without impact given supply reality.

          Yes, I agree. I just wish we would pay more attention to this. It may be boring logistics/operations but I think we’ve overlooked an opportunity since we stopped facing scarcity ourselves. We can do hard things even though we don’t have to.
