Vaccine Nationalism, Donald Trump US Nationalism Vaccine, China Nationalism Vaccine,
That’s right folks, there’s a thing called vaccine nationalism, a nationalizing of the quest for the vaccine and the exclusivising of that resource for the pride of the nation first and foremost. There’s an undercurrent to this, though, that goes beyond the mere vaccination nationalism narrative. There’s an effort here by the NBC opos to cultivate and plant seeds of an ever-emerging narrative wrapped around couching every effort by every nation to be self-sustaining and self-secure as being a guise for nationalism, which is anti-global, and global is better for figuring out how to make a perfect world for all the best people.
(we’ll send you a memo later on our definition of what a best people is)

Wave of ‘vaccine nationalism’ hinders global efforts to halt coronavirus
This competitive vision outlined in the United States and other vaccine-producing powerhouses such as China and India threatens to undermine the efforts of dozens of countries, which are raising billions of dollars in an attempt to find an effective immunizing shot that they say should be available equally around the world.
Some experts and former officials fear that leaders such as President Donald Trump may be pursuing the doctrine of “vaccine nationalism.” This is the idea that any government whose scientists win this vaccine “race” — as it’s often described — might try to hoard the shots for domestic use.
“Do you believe that Trump’s base will be content with a vaccine strategy that does not ‘make America great again’?” asked David Salisbury, a former director of immunization for the British Department of Health who is now an associate fellow at the London think tank Chatham House. “If your country develops the vaccine before anyone else, immediately exporting it to another country is not a vote-winner.”
This tension between nationalism and internationalism was illustrated at a virtual summit hosted by the European Union last week.
