The US made its decision to NOT BUY Pfizer's 2nd batch of vaccine. So, Europe swooped in and bought them up. The motives were profit by Pfizer and intelligent negotiation and action by Europe. The US outsmarted itself - that's all - no credit to the US for humanitarian, caring motives. WE always think that as a country we are helping others. But, it is not since WW2 that WE actually did that. Now, of course, some individual non-profit US organizations help in the world (like the Bill Gates Foundation). But, somehow(?) Gates has become a pariah here in TV Land? And John Kerry and other noble citizens?
