Long before anyone could even debate the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of vaccines, the powerful Western nations were looking out for number one. No one can dispute that. Anyone remember when the EU blocked all exports of vaccines until they were taken care of first? Some have commented that Africa should be innovating on its own, and that the Western nations “deserve” to be self-centred because they have the skills and intellectual capacity to develop vaccines.
Take those typical Hollywood movie scripts in which everyone pulls together for the common cause to survive or defeat a common enemy and throw them out the window. Ours is a far more depressing and dystopian script were everyone is out for themselves.
Seems perfectly natural to me.
So. This is fact. Been since the dawn of time. Grow up. Get used to it. Stop playing the poor me / race/ i am poor/ utopia card
So...? Not new news... Most countries only care about themselves, sort of how it works.... Don't know any African country that care more about others, than themselves...
