10. I'm sure all of the countries would "defensively respond"

I posted what the U.S. has already done, which was detailed in a WH statement that was posted the day before that article from The Guardian was published.

And per that Guardian article, this was the response -

The WHO said the moratorium would help towards the goal of vaccinating at least 10% of every country’s population by the end of September.

Washington has not yet announced a booster vaccination plan. But the White House appeared to reject the WHO’s call, arguing it could deliver doses to Americans and support global vaccination efforts.

“We definitely feel that it’s a false choice and we can do both,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters, adding that the US has donated more doses than any other country. “Also in this country [we] have enough supply to ensure that every American has access to a vaccine,” she added.


And that corresponds with the statement that had been released by the WH.

We're fine.
