Even the USSR and US had vaccine deplomacy on smallpox. This here is dangerous

Eventually. Iirc, The USSR had to basically drag the US kicking and screaming into vaccinating the third world.

And they had distributed hundreds of millions of doses too.

Ya, I think it was largely a USSR/UN project or something that they eventually got the US to help fund. The US probably being reticent because of their love of using Smallpox and other biologicals in warfare.
