As John Maynard Keynes said: "Anything we can actually do we can afford". We can give three COVID jabs to everyone: the developed and developing world alike. We cannot afford not to vaccinate everyone to eliminate reservoirs

There is a false dichotomy being spread that we have a choice either to give third doses to the developed world, or to vaccinate the developing world with two doses. Developed nations must donate their "booster" doses to developing countries

What is needed is effective funding and infrastructure to manufacture vaccines for the developing world. The world needs to come together to produce this. What is lacking is a global drive to attain that goal

Nor do simplistic insinuations to the effect that the developed world is stealing vaccines from Africa to run a vanity booster programme stack up when one accepts that COVID shots are 3-dose vaccines. This fact remains true of everyone in the world. The supply follows demand

"Anything we can actually do we can afford". That means if there is a financial structure to fund vaccination for the developing world, supply will follow. Both funding and manufacturing should follow war-time crisis modes. The world needs to get going on this now
