Ethical Dilemmas in Global Vaccine Cooperation and Countermeasures: A Case Study of Global Smallpox Eradication
全球疫苗合作中的伦理困境及其应对: 以全球根除天花为例
Scholars from People’s Liberation Army Naval Medical University develop guidelines for U.S.-China cooperation on global vaccine distribution by examining U.S.-Soviet Union cooperation on smallpox eradication during the Cold War. In the context of COVID-19 and future pandemics, the authors suggest that both Washington and Beijing should increase vaccine supply to the developing world, coordinate efforts to combat local vaccine hesitancy, and develop venues for information-sharing among scientists and medical professionals across the two countries.
