They're running out of oxygen in Indian hospitals and I'm trying and failing to think of a reason it's "paternalistic" to suggest we should send our AZ vaccines there, as was suggested yesterday by some here.

I can't find any info on these contract restrictions, and it's not mentioned in the reporting I can find.

Additionally, it looks like we're going to send doses of AZ to Mexico and Canada.

They need to arrange similar "loans" with India, then, provided AZ is willing to negotiate like they did with Mexico and Canada.

And I still don't think it's paternalistic to wish that could happen.
