Send the Covid-19 Vaccines to Africa

As the United States approaches a 70% saturation of Covid-19 vaccines for those over the age of 12, we seem to have hit an impasse. The number of vaccines administered each week is declining, vacination centers are closing, and vaccines are going to waste.

Some states are working harder and harder to get additional people vaccinated. Other states want to relax some vaccination requirements. The concensus that I hear among people I talk to (who are mainly intelligent, educated people who are fully vaccinated) is to accept that what will be, will be. If the remaining 30% of the over 12 population doesn't want to get vaccinated, let them drop out of the gene pool as they get Covid-19.

Why not? They are mostly stupid Trump supporters anyway. Let support for Trump die out with them. As Vermonters say Live Free of Die... Yep. Almost ... Good riddance.

Sooner or later the vaccines will be approved for those under the age of twelve and as a society we should continue working to protect them. Let's keep purchasing enough vaccine so that there will be plenty to vaccinate children when immunizations are approved for them.

But then let's start sending the surplus vaccines to African and Latin American countries where it can be given to intelligent people who want to have a better chance at living.
