Vaccine Disbursement

" As I already stated, the countries that ARE NOT involved will not be infringed upon. I never said a single thing about the countries who ARE involved and under the rules set by Gavi. We are only setting up a program that countries MAY decide to follow IF they so chose to do so. What another country chooses to do is not under any circumstances our issue, all we stand to do is provide them with an option. If they decide to engage in our program that is their decision, and they are making the choice to over step the boundries of free market in their country, not us. Therefore, Gavi is not in any way "communist" as you so put it. We simply make the rules of our program, anyone oppossed does not have to join us, and in return will not benefit from our program." This again, is a misrepresentation of the debate topic. We are not discussing the GAVI disbursement plan as it currently exists. We are debating whether or not the GAVI plan should be implemented in ALL countries. Not just the ones that chose to be a part of it. Thus, the free market is being infringed upon because a single organization is determining where the vaccines go. "As for the comparisson of the rich man to poor man, I was using it as a real world example to back up the disbursment plan which does make it relivant. The poorer you are the more likely you are to catch an infectious disease, therefore the highest bidder (most likely a richer man), has a lower risk of catching a disease. It is common sence. Why would we give the immunisations to the higher bidder if they are already less likely to catch an illness? It is really not that hard to understand." This argument states that because the rich man can afford baths and cleanliness, he is essentially less deserving of a vaccine. Sure there might be a lower chance for him to catch a disease or illness, but that in no way, reduces a man"s fear. It is not the governments, or anybody"s choice as to how scared and fearful a man is. The poor man gets the vaccine because he needs it. But is it really impossible for a poor man to remain clean? The rich man deserves a vaccine first because he provided it. And he is fearful. Not just for himself, but for his loved ones and for his children. Who are you to say that a poor man deserves it more? "As far as I know chairies can't force people to participate in their organisations." Actually, due to the debate topic, people are forced to participate in a charitable organization. GAVI is essentially acting as a hindrance. In order for a private sector man to provide vaccines, he must donate to a charity. This is inefficient. GAVI also provides vaccines from donations, so if someone suddenly chose to keep their money, then the GAVI system would fall apart. This means that immunizations and vaccines couldn"t get to people who needed them if GAVI didn"t collect enough money. So, rather than depend on the good nature of those in the private sector, I suggest a different system that collects its vaccination money from a tax. This would be far more reliable than GAVI on a global scale. Also, certain countries may not like other countries, and thus stop donating money when they here of vaccinations are used in another country. There is most certainly a far better and more reliable system than a non-profit corporation which relies on the donations of the rich.
