Are we now saying donating unused things is inferior to donating things that could be used? I think this is a horrible take. Also two years since when? US had regular supply of vaccine only since March.

Donating things years after they are needed is worse, to put it plainly.

The EU and China started arranging the export of vaccines before even they had a regular supply. Talks for the export of vaccines from those countries started almost two years ago from now, ie, early 2020.

Does it matter when talks of exporting started if it wasn't actually available at that time?
