There was a farmer who used to grow cotton. Every year his cotton used to win awards for quality in the entire state. He used to share cotton seeds with neighbours without any hesitation.
Someone asked him: Are you not afraid? What if they grow the same quality cotton?

He did not feel insecure. With a broad smile on his face he said: "If I become selfish & don't share the same quality seeds, it impacts the quality of my cotton. During pollination if my farm is surrounded by inferior quality cotton I can't win awards"

Moral of the story: If we have to win against Covid, our neighbours as well as the whole world needs to win.

"Turkish official said that shortages had not yet impacted relations between the 2 countries. But 'if China overpromises, in the future they may be more cautious,' added the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomatic ties.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…
"Turkey has maintained delicate balance w/🇨🇳over past few yrs,toning down its criticism of Beijing’s crackdown on Muslim Uyghurs as Ankara seeks Chinese investment for its hobbled economy — and more recently, vaccine."
China is only slightly behind India,which last month announcd it was temporarily banning exports amid politicl criticism of vaccination efforts at home...Citing govt reports,China sent 60% of its productn of Sinovac & Sinopharm vaccine as aid to 53 countries & paid exports to 27.

1/3 Thread: I was glad to see the Russians publish their phase 1 data, previously I was critical for their lack of transparency after their public declarations following licensure of "Sputnik V" or whatever the heck they were calling it. Some positives and negatives:
2/3 Thread: On positive side was their lyophilized formulation: Freeze-drying makes it possible to deliver vaccine in remote areas without a cold chain. The Russians are good at this, they pioneered the creation of "dryvax" that made it possible to eradicate smallpox in 60s 70s
3/3 Thread: Downsides: Not very high virus neutralizing antibodies, hard to compare study to study, but levels of VNA similar to Astra Zeneca vaccine in NHPs that was partially protective, also logistic complexity of 2 different vaccines for prime and boost, respectively.
