The Biden administration is buying 500 million doses of Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine to donate to the world, as the United States dramatically increases its efforts to help vaccinate the global population, according to three people familiar with the plans.

The doses will be distributed by Covax, the World Health Organization-backed initiative to share doses around the globe, and they will be targeted at low- and middle-income countries. Pfizer is selling the doses to the U.S. at a "not-for-profit" price, according to the people familiar with the deal.

What about the 330 million or so Americans who need booster shots? Biden should have said that America has already purchased 330 million booster shots for 2022 but he isn’t that smart.

I thought J&J would be the better buy because it’s single dose and it’s less sensitive so it can handle a higher temperature for storage compared to Pfizer and Moderna?
