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.
