Lots of poor nations are short on vaccines along with Taiwan. A great opportunity to help others, caveat some of the vaccines require a degree of refrigeration that is tough to achieve in many poor nations.

The science isn't settled yet. In any event I get a flu shot every year, add Covid-19 to it. I'll probably get a booster this winter if they are offered.

U.S. vaccine surplus grows by the day as expiration dates loom
This is good news. We have the highest number of citizens vaccinated in the world. And we have enough to vaccinate the rest of our citizens. Better safe than sorry.
America first!

And this is why the US can afford to give away vaccines - if they don't use the surplus, they're gonna lose it anyway due to expiration
(Over 140 million Americans have already been fully vaccinated. Over 170 million have received at least one dose.)
If some Americans don't want it, then give it to people who do. Before the vaccines expire, so don't wait

Science is never “settled”. If it were it would not be science.
This waste of the vaccine biden inherited from the Trump administration is a national disgrace. biden’s incompetence in distributing the doses to where they are needed instead of where they are no longer needed is a huge failure. Tens of millions of Americans want and need the vaccines but biden refuses to distribute them efficiently - a huge failure of logistics and a lack of imagination. I would not be surprised that this failure and the biden administrations collusion with the Mexican cartels to ship drugs and unvaccinated illegal aliens into the country will result in his impeachment following the 2022 mid-term election.

Is it Mr. Biden's fault that a bunch of low education bigoted, bible thumping conspiracy spouting science denying idiots won't take the vaccination? At some point the right wing has to own up to their own wretched stupidity and quite blaming others.
