21. WTH! 'Only' for the U.S. and screw the rest of the world?

Using OUR money? Like hell!

Damn it! If nothing else this virus should teach us all how incredibly connected we all are and how what we do, or don't do, can be felt by others around the world in both positive and negative ways. A life saving vaccine MUST belong to the world not just to one country and especially not if that country has a greedy self serving bigoted nut like Trump in control.

So when he gets a limited amount of vaccines and needs to prioritize who gets it will he be handing them out to his rich and Republican buddies and cult members first? He seems to think he's only 'their' president and the rest of us be damned.
