COVAX is the program started by the World Health Organization to distribute COVID vaccines around the world, particularly to less-developed nations. An announcement this week from the WHO has unsettled people inside of the Biden administration, however. COVAX is going to begin purchasing tens of millions of doses of vaccine from China, despite being told by the White House that this wasn’t a good idea. There have been plenty of issues raised about the vaccines developed by Sinovac and Sinopharm, but there are clearly geopolitical forces in play here as well. Also, China will be charging the WHO for the vaccines after the United States donated 80 million doses to them last month for free. But as I’m sure you know, the WHO is part of the United Nations, and they have a rather uncomfortable history of cozying up to the Chinese Communist Party, so are we really surprised?
