President Biden says the U.S. is pledging more than a billion doses of coronavirus vaccine for the poorer countries of the world. He even says, “We need to go big.”
The world has 8 billion people more or less, and to defeat the coronavirus, perhaps 6 billion people would need two doses of most vaccines, that is, 12 billion doses.
So if a billion or even two billion people are getting vaccinated, that leaves 6 billion people who could still die from coronavirus.
This proposal is not “big.” It is good for Pfizer, not for the world’s poorer people.
