It's a dicey situation. People in the west have clued into the problems
we face from over-population so most of us have reduced family size.
While we boomers came from families with four kids, and our great
grandparents bred them by the dozen, sthe younger generation seems to
be limiting themselves to one or two. However, we are major consumers.
Meanwhile, in the third world where so many people are desperately poor
and often go hungry, they are multiplying like rabbits.

I am not sure what is going on with the world wide distribution of
Covid19 vaccine but there was a lot of talk about the importance of
vaccine equity, that the richer countries should not be looking after
only themselves first, that we are morally obliged to share it with
poorer countries. I appreciate that is the kind thing to do. I am not
convinced it is the wisest. Let's face it. The wealthiest countries
have long carried the poorer ones with investments and foreign aid. If
we don't look after our own our economies will suffer and we will not be
able to help them at all. If we give up our vaccines and loss even more
lives here to save theirs, it's not like they are going to be in a
position to help us.
