COVID-19 Vaccines for ALL

If poor countries go unvaccinated, a study says, rich ones will pay. That’s a piece originally from the New York Times, and picked up by multiple news outfits internationally.

My thoughts:

  1. Control the virus first, and the economy will follow.
  2. The economy concerned is not confined to one location. Each location or community is dependent on other places.
  3. Safe global travel depends on people all over the world having immunity to the virus.
  4. Health equity is necessary for public health. The health of all people in all communities for the good of all – so no one is left behind.

Disclaimer: I am not an economist. This is just an analytic exercise for me.
