US Vaccine Imperialism Backfires

By Herman Tiu Laurel (Part 1: mRNA’s yet Unchartered Waters)

It took me some time to ascribe as “imperialism” the US behavior on its vaccine promotion efforts, but after reviewing the course of events since the start of the Covid-19 crisis I found this as an inescapable fact – the US has tried to impose on the world its new vaccine development, its parameters for defining “efficacy” and its pernicious propaganda efforts at putting down other countries’ vaccine projects.

Now, Trump’s defeat in the presidential election is causing the circle of lobbyists and supporters of terrorism to collapse. Extremists in the Middle East, such as the Mujahedin-e-Khalq, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Mohammed bin Salman took advantage of Trump’s presidency to beat the drums for war more vigorously while diminishing opportunities for dialog and a world free of violence.

Trump’s defeat and the Capitol riots were not simply the failure of one candidate. They indicated the defeat of Trumpism. This bellicose and anti-peace ideology must not influence future developments around the world. Trump’s circle of friends and supporters are a threat to democracy, world peace and security. This anti-peace circle with its destructive ideology has no place in the post-Trump world.
