Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday addressed the growing criticism over the US’ lack of sharing COVID-19 vaccines with other countries, and vowed that the US won’t “trade shots in arms for political favors.”
That he has to publicly announce this tells you just how badly Republicans have tarnished brand USA.
It’s high time to put evildoers on notice that the evil that they do will not be done no more.
Wow, there goes T****'s whole hydroxychloroquine gambit.
OT but funny
EDIT:
OT and hells yes
“ But it is mainly in the domain of soft power that China has been able to take full advantage of the health crisis, by filling the void left by the West in developing countries. While the WHO advocated as early as last spring for the world’s countries to have equal access to vaccination and created the Covax mechanism to make it possible, national interests won out.”
What a lovely example of something ridiculous that he only had to say because of the damage Trump and the GOP did politicizing the State Dept. and the rest of the administration.

I’m not on Twitter, and I sure as Hell don’t watch Fox, so I’m grateful for the occasional link to things like this:
Damn… Slick burn. He’s good.
I saw that yesterday.
Hard to believe they still have him on the show with the way he breaks shit down.
Honestly, I’d ditch TPM for twitter except the commenters here are the best, and I mean that.
Closet Dems there keep booking him.
Of course China is ahead of everyone else in vaccine distribution and production.
Having access to the original sample in the lab makes developing the solution much simpler.
Fox is like the really stupid person who continues to pick fights with someone who consistently kicks their ass. At some point you would think they would figure out that he is just too good for them, but it hasn’t happened yet.
It happens repeatedly with modern right-wingers. Remember when Pres. Obama kicked the ass of every single Congressional republican in that Q&A session?
OT, but perhaps an Oaf Keeper canary is about to sing…
Sucks to be you, T****.
O/T, but looks like the Supremes just got an important intellectual property case right:
The two dissents, of course, are Thomas and Alito.
Addendum: Good summary, written before the decision was published, of what was at stake here:
Maybe he doesn’t want to have to give us his guitar collection to cover his legal fees. I can sympathize with that.
What did Ginny Thomas dislike about it?
