What good is the US' covid "recovery" when its imperialist policies abroad are keeping people sick - and the virus mutating - in the Global South? Hint: follow the money! We’re talking "vaccine apartheid" with organizer and independent political analyst Amanda Yee. India is facing the most devastating wave of the virus yet; supply and hospital bed shortages are forcing families to beg for oxygen on social media. Meanwhile Russia and China are blamed for Uncle Sam’s catastrophic pandemic response while Biden pledges to “win the 21st century.” How does his Cold War rhetoric compare to Trump’s? Plus why #StopAsianHate dangerously misses the mark, funneling resources to preserve the status quo instead of tackling the real crisis (*cough* US imperialism *cough*).
