Proposal—what if the Biden @StateDept authorized all US Embassies and Consulate abroad to share US #COVID19 vaccines? It could technically skirting the Trump WH contractual bans against donating & using them outside of “US Territories”. I hope @SecBlinken @ABlinken considers. https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1379621738850422787
2) And not just US citizens would be eligible. But maybe there can be a section of US embassies / consulates that can offer it to non-Americans too theoretically if they came to the Embassy. There is no “citizens only” clause, just a “US territory” clause.
3) In addition, US military bases abroad. And maybe US entry Pre-clearance zones in which are considered as having “entered the US”.
I know embassies and military bases are still consider foreign soil, but they are under official US sovereign control. It’s grey area for sure.

4) Is there precedent for this? YES! Russia prohibits the use of Us vaccines in Moscow. So what does the US Embassy in Moscow do? It is airlifting vaccines to the US Embassy and administering US approved vaccines on embassy grounds!
This is *precedent*!
