This is what happens when intellectual property is more important than lives. We know how to end the pandemic but the caplistist want to maximize profits not end the pandemic.

Yup and big pharmaceutical companies will be talking about the profits of booster shots sold to the wealthy nations

@jakeg3126 India literally made and exported most of the vaccine used in the USA. Your ignorance of how outsourcing works is amazing

@0dyss3us51 people once thought the same thing about building war machines. But the government mandated that corporations build what was needed and the allied forces won WWII

@BonsuBigWhale so how many decades ago did they start working on the vaccine for a virus that didn't exist before 2019??? Your argument doesn't pass the sniff test when the virus was only discovered months before they vacillated the first people. Just to help you with the math if it takes decades plural to develop a vaccine for covid 19 we would see the first clinical test trials in 2039 as it would take 20 plus years to develop the vaccine by your theory for a virus discovered in 2019

You start by naming the countries which are "doing just fine" with a global pandemic.

@AA-td1yw cases of covid per world meters info online which has been considered one of the better websites for the last year USA 34,420,284 India 30,002,691 Now technically we have more cases but if you think the numbers are off you should consider what percentage of the poor in india where never reported as covid moved through there slums. I am willing to guess that even besides the fact that we have vaccinated a higher percentage of our population that India has had more deaths. Of course per capita we will have failed worse so far because we have a far smaller percentage of the global population but mostly that is simply do to our country getting off to an earlier start. Brazil is also right up there with us per capita and they lack the vaccine adoption rate that we have. So just wait the rest of the world will continue to suffer worse not that I am happy about that. I believe non of us are safe until all of us are which is why I think we need to end profiteering off the pandemic and make enough vaccine for the global population

@AA-td1yw I am pretty sure that the USA has taken second seat now that over 60% of our population has had atleast one covid vaccine shot.
