新冠疫情下疫苗民族主义的缘起、表现及其影响

The Origin,Manifestation and Influence of Vaccine Nationalism under the COVID-19 Pandemic

新冠疫情的暴发和全球性蔓延,造成人类历史上规模最大的公共卫生危机。新冠疫苗的研发和使用为全球应对新冠疫情带来了转机。然而,以美国为代表的部分西方发达国家兴起的疫苗民族主义,给全球抗疫合作蒙上阴影。追本溯源,疫苗民族主义主要源于"西方中心论"、极端民粹主义、民族国家间的利益冲突以及世界卫生组织的脆弱性。更值得注意的是,疫苗民族主义已上升为国家间的博弈,严重阻碍全球抗疫进程,未来或进一步加剧全球疫情的恶性循环,引发全球地缘政治对抗,拖延全球经济复苏,阻碍人类命运共同体的构建。为应对这场全球公共卫生危机,遏制疫苗民族主义的影响,中国可在促进全球疫苗公平合理分配上进一步发挥大国担当,努力让疫苗成为发展中国家可及和可负担的国际公共产品,推进人类命运共同体的构建。

The outbreak and global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to the biggest public health crisis in human history.The development and application of the COVID-19 vaccine has brought about a turning point in global response to this epidemic.However,the rise of vaccine nationalism in some Western countries represented by the United States has cast a shadow over global anti-epidemic cooperation.The reason for this is that vaccine nationalism mainly derives from"Western centralism",extreme populism,conflicts of interest between nation-states that are difficult to reconcile,and the fragility of the World Health Organization.What is more noteworthy is that vaccine nationalism has risen to the level of national confrontation,which has severely disrupted the global anti-epidemic process.In the future,it may further aggravate the vicious cycle in the global epidemic situation,trigger global geopolitical confrontation,delay the process of global economic recovery and block the construction of a community with shared future for mankind.In order to respond to this global public health crisis and curb the development and influence of vaccine nationalism,China can step up its efforts as a major country to promote a fair and reasonable distribution of vaccines globally,make vaccines global public goods accessible and affordable to developing countries,and advance the construction of a human community with shared future.
