Prediction:
The US is going to end up with an oversupply of vaccine due to a) inefficient distribution methods and b) large numbers of people refusing/choosing not to vaccinate.
Scientists will point out that it would be beneficial to the global economy to distribute the excess vaccine to underdeveloped nations. Centre-right pundits will yell and scream that the Biden admin isn't doing enough to help the economy recover and "aren't following the science." They will also point out that this is encouraging illegal immigration. That people are trying to flee Central America to come get the vaccine in America.
Biden will override Trump's EO and distribute excess vaccine to a place like Guatemala.
Fox News & the rest of the Stupid-right will lose their damn minds.
