Seventy million doses: that’s how much Biden’s help Europe is worth

by admin

NEW YORK – The surplus of vaccines available to Joe Biden will be worth 70 million immunizations, between May and July, at which point the White House will face the choices on how to use them. Here are the numbers. The US federal government has ordered vaccine doses (or bi-doses depending on brand) well in advance to immunize 400 million people. But the resident population is 330 million. This means that out of caution and foresight, the choices made by the two Trump-Biden administrations have provided that they can vaccinate 70 million more people than the inhabitants of the United States.

At the current rate at which the three licensed companies Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson are producing, America will reach anticipated inventory between May and July. This assumes that by then the inoculation is also extended to children, adolescents, pregnant women: the total of 330 million inhabitants in fact includes all without distinction of age. If other vaccines are approved on the waiting list, such as AstraZeneca and Novavax, the total could rise even more rapidly.

Between May and July, Biden will therefore have the opportunity to decide who to give these 70 million doses or bi-doses. The European Union would badly need this American help, but the list of international beggars is very long. There is a third world wing within the Democratic Party that would like to help poor countries as a priority, starting with neighboring ones in Central America.

The priority to neighboring countries also responds to a national security interest, as seen when Biden unlocked a first export of AstraZeneca doses to Mexico: it serves to vaccinate areas from which asylum-seeking migrants come, which in turn could lead to contagion in the United States.

That total of 70 million vaccines refers exclusively to the quantities ordered by the federal government and therefore available to it. In parallel, the American pharmaceutical companies here, once their commitments with the US client have been honored, will continue to produce for other nations. And Biden will lift export restrictions – the ones that hit AstraZeneca – once his vaccination campaign reaches 100% of its targets. If we add this “private” and exportable production, we arrive at a total of one billion vials.

The other American aid to Europe is the licensing of other companies to produce vaccines patented by US multinationals. This operation – which has nothing to do with the battle for free patents – has already started but can be slowed down by the European bureaucracy. Local health authorities, despite having already approved Pfizer Moderna Johnson & Johnson vaccines, come into play again as they have to inspect and approve third-party factories that are hired to manufacture under license.
