To save 2.6 million lives, 60,000 cases of measles blindness, and 5-10% of all hearing loss.

An American being vaccinated isn't going to save some 80 IQ savage in Africa or India, nor should we want to.

That's right. An American being vaccinated will mostly benefit Americans.

We benefit from the inventions and expertise from better education in Africa and India, and should want it. Even if we are psychopaths that don't want other people to have better lives. Most of us just empathise though.
