I think choosing Moderna vaccine is a poor idea. There's no logistical capability to deliver something requiring specialised cold storage in poor countries.
Africa and Middle East eventually will be filled with vaccines requiring nothing more than a fridge to store, and are cheaper to produce. To see WHO spending money on an impractical moonshot is mind boggling.
Yeah; there are three vaccines developed in Cuba and two from China that meet that ease of distribution requirement, and Cuba, at least, has agreed to do technology transfer to countries that want to produce it. It's hard to find a good motivation for WHO here.
