Developing nations are at risk of being left far short of the Covid-19 vaccine supplies they need as richer countries secure billions of doses even beforeThe U.S., the European Union, Japan and the U.K. have agreed to purchase at least 3.7 billion doses from Western drugmakers developing vaccines, according to announcements from the companies and countries in recent months. That tally includes options available for additional doses.
That is likely to tie up nearly all of the immediate global vaccine manufacturing capacity, experts said. Meanwhile, an initiative backed by the World Health Organization intended to pool global resources to efficiently buy and distribute the vaccine equitably across the world will struggle to obtain enough vaccine for developing countries to inoculate even their most vulnerable citizens, experts said.
On Tuesday, the Trump administration said it wouldn’t support the initiative. “The United States will continue to engage our international partners to ensure we defeat this virus, but we will not be constrained by multilateral organizations influenced by the corrupt World Health Organization and China,” said Judd Deere, deputy press secretary at the White House.
We will share what we have with the world, as we have done with ventilators and other equipment.
Your series did not address the PLA lab, the (still un-investigated) origin of the virus, the CCP’s failure to notify in accordance with the WHO IHRs (2005), the many spreading videos that were posted, the shortage of PPE and potential treatments other than vaccines...
If you're complaining you can mail your dose to Somalia!

So, if there is no vaccine yet... no one is really behind... unless you want to be a test subject.
There is no vaccine.
