2/ This is the reality of trade offs. No one said there were going to be easy decisions. And with limited vaccine supply, & monopolization of that supply— these are the moral dilemmas that the world must grapple with. Extremely low risk children here v high risk adults elsewhere
3/ Yes, there are high risk kids here & they should be vaccinated. Yes, global vaccine monopolies are not the fault of American parents- no one is saying they are. Nonetheless, vaccine inequity is real. And it’s going to cost us all big time. #covid19
4/ & while supply is limited, this does not necessarily immediately translate into “American children taking away vaccines from high risk adults elsewhere”; but, it certainly shifts attention away from vaccine inequity/ is a new & lucrative market for the Pfizers of the world
