I hadn't seen that, but thanks for the info. It doesn't surprise me, as Pfizer's partner, BioNTech, is a German company (founded by the children of Turkish immigrants), so it makes sense that some of those doses would be earmarked for the EU/Germany.
By the end of next year, there will be multiple billions of doses of vaccine, enough (probably) to vaccinate all developed countries. Fauci expects widespread availability of the vaccine by April, which sounds ambitious, but if you exclude the 40% of people who might refuse a vaccine, I could see it.
By the way, how's this for the power of immigrants:
As mentioned, BioNTech is a German company founded by a husband and wife team who are the children of Turkish immigrants.
Pfizer's CEO, Albert Bouria, is Greek; the company was founded in 1849 by a Charles Pfizer and Charles F. Erhart, a pair of German immigrants
Moderna was founded by Derrick Rossi, who is a Canadian, and its CEO is Stéphane Bancel, a Frenchman
