from the Politico....


The first wave of donations announced Thursday includes 19 million doses that will be distributed through COVAX. Six million of those will go to countries in South and Central America, including Brazil, Paraguay and El Salvador; seven million doses will be sent to Asian countries, including India, Nepal, Pakistan and the Philippines. Another 5 million doses will go through COVAX to African countries that will be selected in coordination with the African Union. The U.S. will also send a total of 6 million doses directly to allies and "regional priorities," including Mexico, Canada, West Bank and Gaza, Ukraine, Egypt and Iraq, the White House said.

Pakistan and Gaza!!!


With all due respect the West Bank is part of Israel. They have their own vaccine.



What is he thinking?? None to Taiwan, New Zealand, Australia??? Japan??? South Korea??

Probably Taiwan, New Zealand, Australia and South Korea don't need any extra vaccines.

As for Palestine and Pakistan, they are not officially terrorist states:

I don't think it is a issue of price, but supply. I am sure that Japan and Australia would be happy to repay the US.


"As for Palestine and Pakistan, they are not officially terrorist states:"


Right....and Cuba is a workers paradise.

I gave you a link pointing out that Palestine and Pakistan are not officially terrorist states, and in spite of my proof, you deny it.

Since Republicans think that the vaccine is either a sham or a tracking device or more likely to kill than the virus itself, I'd have thought they would have loved such exports.

Your statement is just silly.


Trump got Operation Warp Speed to produce the vaccine.



The Democrats said they would NOT take the vaccine UNLESS because it was developed under Trump.


Now they are taking credit for it....REALLY......your statement is worse than silly. It is a attempt to rewrite history. FINE...but it didn't work for the Soviet Union and I suspect it won't work for the Democrats.

It makes sense to send vaccines to the southern hemisphere now, since they are approaching the winter peak. But this is just a drop in the bucket, so I suspect they will probably go mainly to healthcare workers.

Are all Pakistanis and Palestinians terrorists? Seriously?

So . . . vaccination rates are better in Democratic states because?

"QAnon believers were also more likely to believe other conspiracy theories, with 40% saying they believe the COVID vaccine "contains a surveillance microchip that is the sign of the beast in biblical prophecy."

All of those Democratic QAnon believers - - yep, my statement is sooo silly.
