In return for "Review: I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love", I'd like an essay called "The Covid Vaccine in an Anarco-Communist world: how it would work."
We'll assume that a worldwide revolution happened last night. Now it's time for our stateless, profitless, moneyless system to settle the issues and overcome the limitations related to:
Equitable access, (who gets the vaccine first?) Supply chain, Logistics, Manufacturing capacity, Cold chain (vaccines have to stay very cold. The most populated and logistically challenging parts of the world are very hot), Security and corruption, National infrastructure (and lack thereof), Disinformation (lots of people don't trust vaccines) Liability (what happens if something goes wrong?).
deploying a COVID-19 vaccine may require worldwide transport and tracking of 10–19 billion vial doses, an effort readily becoming the largest supply chain challenge in history...8,000 747 cargo planes – implemented with equipment for precision vaccine cold storage – would be needed to transport just one dose....A logistics shortage in any one step may derail the whole supply chain...If the vaccine supply chain fails, the economic and human costs of the pandemic may be extended for years...
...requires storage at −70°C (−94°F) or colder throughout deployment until vaccination...avoid spoilage and waste, which typically are as much as 30% of the supply...the mission of the century for the global air cargo industry...
Medicines are the world's largest fraud market...vulnerable to counterfeit, theft, scams, and cyberattacks throughout the supply chain...low technical capacity, constrained access, and ineffective capability to identify and track genuine vs. counterfeit vaccines, may be life-threatening for vaccine recipients...
