    let us get clear on the travel ban. It is simply racist. Few northern (white) countries are being banned.

    Is it just me, or does this ‘we need to help get the African people vaccinated’ sound horrifying? I understand that this political game of getting vaccines has made vaccines more available in Europe and the US than in many other countries (I happen to live in a developing country). Also, unless this ‘vaccine’ stops being a commercial and political competition, we could never get enough vaccines all over the world to get enough people vaccinated in a short enough time to have any sort of control. Also, my home country had 90% of people vaccinated and is now locking down again after 1 month of no face mask and mass events. Perhaps governments could simply make better decisions and efficient policies to manage this.

    Well, the way he answered the first question, going on and on about how unvaccinated Africa is, does make it look like he thinks it came from South Africa.

    The more people stay unvaccinated, the more variants will arise. Someday there could be one that our vaccines no longer work on, and then we’re all back to square one.
