Or is each nation going to worry about its own public health no matter what the consequences for global public health are? So the rich countries are clearly making the argument that because the Delta variant is well protected against as far as serious illness and death are concerned by their current vaccines, but perhaps not as well protected by against transmission. Therefore, they say, in order to cut our transmission down, we need a third dose. And therefore, we can't give these vaccines to other needy countries which haven't even had a first dose. The needs of rich countries of the global north are trumping, very evocative work, the public health, the fundamental public health needs of countries of the global south. And the reason why we have arrived at this point is a consequence of the capitalist logic of COVID vaccine invention and development and production programs where rather than doing a worldwide open inclusive development, comparative testing, manufacture and deployment and distribution under the WHO's aegis, as the WHO had offered to do in the early months of the pandemic, we have opted for the capitalist logic of Big Pharma primarily mediating this. And the consequences that what we have is Big Pharma encouraged steady fragmentation of COVID related public policies into nationalist approaches where the global north reserves early effective vaccines for itself. And the global south is supposed to deal with its own problems with a little bit of overflow charity as it were.
