It looks like Australia will soon be manufacturing a vaccine, for Covid-19 I was thinking that, as we are nearly out of danger, (we can definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel) Should we be sending the vaccine, to those who need it more than us, places such as Europe/Americas/Eastern Block/Mi...
