It’s Time For A Biden Plan To Help Vaccinate The World Against COVID—And End This Pandemic For Good.

本文 On April 28, President Biden gave his first major address before a joint session of Congress, reflecting on his first 100 days in office and his administration’s major legislative priorities ahead. Much of his speech predictably focused on the COVID-19 pandemic, sparking optimism about a quick American recovery given the more than 200 million vaccine doses already administered at the time. But to many listening around the world, one issue was conspicuously absent from President Biden’s remarks: a bold American plan to help vaccinate the global population and bring an end to the pandemic still claiming over 10,000 lives each day globally.

Behind the scenes, there has been considerable debate among Biden-Harris administration officials about precisely when to allow other countries to tap into US vaccine supplies, and how. According to latest projections, the US will have a surplus of several hundred million vaccine doses by July—an enormous stockpile that might swell to 1 billion by end of the year. Meanwhile, other countries—many of which have yet to receive a single vaccine dose—have been clamoring for access to these vaccines with limited success to date.

総評

出題者から皆様へ

いよいよオリンピックです：

前回の総評の中で、コロナ戦後の社会というテーマで、「新たな格差社会」、その内容は「新たな精神社会」とも述べました。

それに加えて、この戦争中にオリンピックを開催するというのですから、間違いなくオリンピック後やその後に来るコロナ戦後に起きる社会状況は、上記を2乗倍して考えねばならないでしょうね。

明日は都議選の投票日ですが、これが今の日本人の思考傾向を客観的に示すことにもなるでしょうね。あまり期待できるものではないと私は思っているのですけれども・・・。
