A Christmas Wish: Industrialized Nations, stop being ASSHOLES. There are a million reasons they should stop being that way (like global warming), but need to help poor ones with #COVID19 is critical. Vaccines exist for prevention, and treatments exist for those who get infected.
Rich nations have the capacity to help, but instead horde vaccines and treatments to themselves. Yet as long as there's one nation not being helped, the potential for variants and continued disease spread persists for the rest the world including rich countries.
And the variants become more virulent. That's just stupid. So, the rich nations need to get over themselves and do the right thing for once - even if they do it for completely selfish reasons.
Who knows, doing the right thing could just become a habit?

The insane thing is there are millions of people in rich industrialized nations who have as many ridiculous reasons for rejecting the medicine, when there are millions and more who have no access and are thoroughly desperate for it.
Arrogance and inhumanity then don't begin to describe the failure of the nations that can but don't.
There's no reason to not do better when we absolutely can, and not doing it only hurts ourselves.
So, Merry Christmas.
