The US was no more willing to export vaccines under Biden than Trump, the media were just less interested in criticising the new president. Same with border restrictions: Biden attacked Trump's as counterproductive in his campaign, then got into office and immediately insisted on reimposing them unchanged and keeping them way beyond the point they made any kind of sense, but the media lost interest in criticising those as well.

>> The US was no more willing to export vaccines under Biden than Trump

That may be true in hindsight, but at the time Canadian officials prediction that a second Trump term would be less friendly to vaccine exports. That wasn't an unreasonable estimation of the US political landscape at the time.

people like the softer version of the same thing, in all actuality more people have died when biden got into office, i am not talking about covid here, the air strikes on civilians, the pulling out of afghanistan only to re-enter through the back door is a new kind of okie doke, but hey at least the guy with the spray tan is gone.
