"Respondents want everyone in the world to be well protected."

Postdoctoral researcher Dr. Ferdinand Geißler (Humboldt Universität zu Berlin) reported on the SCRIPTS-funded study "Public support for global vaccine sharing in the COVID-19 pandemic: Intrinsic, material, and strategic drivers" in an interview with the regional newspaper Der Tagesspiegel (in German language). Their study design involved a representative survey among 10,000 German respondents and an experiment testing the willingness of donating money to support other countries in their vaccination campaign. The study is part of the SCRIPTS project "The Politics of Public Allocation of Scarce Goods". The research team sees the result as a strong mandate to act: "Partly, it is hard to understand why the available vaccine is not better distributed to advance the global vaccination campaign." A summary of the study can be retrieved here, the (non-peer-reviewed) preprint here.
