Epidemiology, not geopolitics, should guide COVID-19 vaccine donations
Open accessAbstract
With COVID-19 vaccine supplies shifting from scarcity to abundance in high-income settings, such as Canada, the EU, the USA, and the UK,1 the June 11–13, 2021, Group of Seven (G7) summit in Cornwall, UK, is the time when leaders from those countries should act on their promises2–4 to send surplus COVID-19 vaccine supplies to the many other countries where doses remain scarce.

Locations with strained and under-resourced health systems faced overwhelming structural challenges in securing swift and sufficient supplies of vaccine, which compromised vaccine delivery to high-risk populations, and further affected progress in responding to the burden imposed by the pandemic in under-resourced locations in 2021.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
