The US now possesses a vaccine that is capable of vaccinating the majority of the world’s population against COVID. The United States has no responsibility to provide COVID vaccines to the world. It can – it will – distribute them, but it will want something in return.

On March 2 the Biden administration announced a vaccine manufacturing partnership between two of the largest and most successful drug manufacturers in the United States: Johnson & Johnson and Merck. Less than a week previous the U.S. FDA approved J&J’s vaccine for emergency use in combatting the COVID-19 virus; its formula will now be produced both in J&J and Merck facilities. (At present neither firm has announced expansion schedules or delivery volumes.)

This is big. Of the five proven anti-COVID vaccine formulas that have been approved for use in the First World, only the J&J formula is refrigerator safe and easy to manufacture and a single-dose formula. As such it can be used for inoculations at any facility worldwide that can handle any other vaccine formula. It is this formula that is capable of vaccinating the majority of the world’s population against COVID, and with the Merck tie-up I’ve little doubt the formula will be able to make good on its potential.
