Finger pointing is definitely required. Turning the other cheek doesn't work when interacting with a psychopath.

Especially when the one whose incompetence and malevolence needs to be pointed out is himself doing nothing BUT finger pointing and lying, when he should instead be working on solving the problem.

You'd let the marauder escape, like always.

IMO a better outcome might come from the odds of the entire world without the USA, rather than than solely the USA getting the vaccine and distributing as we see fit.

Indeed, but Germany achieving that outcome by making this a PR war will just make global cooperation less likely.

This needs to be achieved by the EU leveraging as much cash as it can from other countries with an agreement to distribute the vaccine by some WHO index of need. In this way, you outbid the US by showing collaboration works.

We can't waver on global health priorities, but let the USA admin shout its way into darkness alone and not drag in global cooperation with it.
