economic and political impact of a vaccine

If one of the major powerhouses of the US, Russia, or China get an effective vaccine with the others lagging behind in that aspect, I would assume that whomever was able to get it effective will have a decent amount of control in the global economics for a bit. I would say this because I would assume that the ones will want to be able to profit from giving the other world powers a way to end some of the mass hysteria that's going around. Especially if it wasn't the US, I would think that the others would almost hold it for ransom so the citizens would pressure the federal government to buy a bunch to end some of the civil unrest in cities and in the people that are tired of it. 

For the ones that can find an effective vaccine without others being close to finding a solution that makes it go away, will have an advantage to try to engage with some melding in some of the other nations politics by trying to sign agreements that will have some clauses that could help spread a bit of the ones politics and government into the other countries.

Covid vaccines and global cooperation

The creation and distribution of a vaccine will be a global endeavor because we are relying on the majority of people to be able to receive the vaccine at some point but it will most likely be in waves, so it would be bad for citizens to fight over who are the ones to get them in which wave of doses sent out. If there's fighting then it can get ugly and make the distributions of them take more time. if those people are respectful about who gets it when then it should cause less deaths to those at risk. 

Its also a global endeavor in how it gets delivered because some countries might not trust the people that are getting it, so they might boycott it and have to have more people wait longer. The more time it takes the more people it can expose which in turn will lead to more people dying from it. The countries will also be in charge of who gets it when and they can deem that the vaccine costs money to get which will limit the people getting it.

The creation of the vaccine would be a global mesh hopefully to have it as being a cooperative system to develop the vaccine and not make it a competition which hurts basically everyone because then it gets to be about money and cost efficiency, so they dilute the vaccine making it less effective, which will then only temporally slow down escalation but not in the groups that need it the most.

UK Core Issue: How Do We Distribute Covid Vaccines?

I'm not sure entirely what is the best course of action to distribute the vaccine, I could see that a couple of options could be viable. I can see drawbacks, but positive stuff to almost every option that I am thinking about. My thoughts of this was with the notion of the vaccine being free. I'm thinking that maybe the best could be to split the vaccines to those that are apart of gen z and gen y(millennial), that way we have most of the working age to be able to hold up the economy and businesses for everyone. However doing this option would most likely leave out the most vulnerable people and they would have a harder chance to survive without the help the vaccine would be able to give.

Another option would to be able to give it those the front-line hospital workers first then go through with any of the other options listed here.

weaken immune system could be good so that they could have a better chance of surviving if they actually come down with it. Then if there's any left over give it to those that are working and have a high contact risks in order to lessen the spread and to help them if they need it for work.

elderly could possibly be the worst way maybe, but then they would be good and could possibly help lower the mortality rate and infection rate.

even could possibly be a good way to spilt it up, that it doesn't discriminate against anyone when distributing the vaccine.

cost: so if the vaccine does cost money then those that would be able to afford it, and then they would hopefully if there's any left to distribute them amongst those that are at high risk and then others at a bit of a reduced rate.

I think that the first would be the best option but that would be based on whether or not the thing is going to be free at least in the US. However if the cost will be a factor then the last one I would assume be the way it would be.
