It makes some sense to look at aid as so much of it has been ineffective over the past decades. Much has been lost to corruption and terrible projects.
But this is not the right approach. This seems to be about taking aid from effective programs that actually deliver directly and moving it to the "political influence" type projects that are ultimately just wasteful and corrupting.

The people that cry about immigrants will start to see more criminal immigrants coming if only the wealthy countries have vaccines.
All the big corporations fighting to get into developing countries will see their market share and profits fall as the populations die off without aid.
