“The left is so worried that “people of color” will not receive it at a rate as high as white people that they are essentially not giving it out at all.”
It’s called ‘equity’. Meanwhile the WHO wants the developed countries to share their vaccines with the rest of the world. I don’t think that Biden is that stupid. Imagine the backlash.
US Should Vaccinate Its Own Before Sharing Vaccines

On Thursday, Anthony Fauci informed the World Health Organization that the Biden administration will participate in WHO's vaccine-sharing project. That reverses President Donald Trump's "America First" approach. Fauci says the goal is to ensure "equitable access" to vaccines for all countries in the world, rich and poor alike.

The vaccine sharing project, with the acronym COVAX, raises money to buy vaccines for poor countries and asks the wealthier countries to donate actual doses. The COVAX dose-sharing principles, released Dec. 18, are causing controversy in France, England, Canada and other countries struggling to get their own populations vaccinated. COVAX wants countries to share their doses as they receive them, rather than waiting to see what's leftover. So far, Norway has agreed.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says it's unfair for younger, healthy adults in countries like the U.S. to get injections before the frail and elderly in poor countries. He calls it a "catastrophic moral failure."
