American corporations could pay to vaccinate the world 10 times over with just their extra profits from 2021
We are so sorry! We bumped into a system failure and couldn’t take your email this time.Getting every human being vaccinated against COVID-19 would be expensive, but it would prevent further mutations like Omicron from developing and threatening the economic recovery — and life as we know it.
If US corporations banded together, they could vaccinate the entire world with less than one-tenth of their extra profits from the year-to-date. For example, the House Armed Services Committee revealed in September plans to spend roughly $778 billion on the military in fiscal 2022. That's enough to vaccinate the world nearly 16 times over.Even the $37.5 billion increase to military spending from last year's budget could cover three-quarters of a global vaccine drive.
