Amazing.

None in my family will take the vaccine but for those AMERICANS who want it and have to wait for a vaccine that their tax dollars bought...while it goes to foreign countries!!!

Americans have always volunteered generously, given generously, etc...but really. Or is it because the vaccine isn't as needed as has been reported?
