This should not be the default position. There is likely only a modest marginal benefit for rich countries from vaccinating young people, while developing nations would benefit enormously from these doses

Don't misunderstand - I think eventually most people should be vaccinated (including youths), but the benefit to the US of vaccinating 100% of its citizenry right now pales in comparison to the benefit of sharing those vaccines with other nations

People are missing the point. I'm not saying that the US should not vaccinate people, but the benefit to the US (and other rich countries) of vaccinating everyone before sharing *at all* is tiny compared to the benefit that those doses could have

Does this mean that some people in the US would be vaccinated a bit later? Yes. But it would almost certainly save many lives in less well-developed countries
