LONDON — It seemed like a windfall in the campaign to vaccinate the world.
President Joe Biden last week announced $4 billion for a humanitarian program called COVAX — short for Covid-19 Vaccines Global Access plan — which aims to fairly distribute vaccines between rich countries and the developing world.

That’s funny. IT seems that England feels that what will help England the most is vaccinating every Englishman first. But not for Americans, eh?
Do these people ever stop to realize how stupid they sound?
Wow! Now we’re responsible for global inequality.

Which is why in some poor African countries the newer Covids which are easier to transmit or catch and maybe less dangerous are being called God’s Vaccinations.
“Biden’s billions?!” How did he get that rich, by working overtime at the car wash?

"Biden would be hilarious if his jokes weren't always on America."
