Manage episode 438062360 series 2932050
During the COVID-19 Pandemic, the hoarding of Vaccines caused more than 1.3 million deaths, with a disproportionate effect in the global south.While countries like Canada, the UK, and other Western European nations double vaccinated over 70% of their entire populations by February 2022, 85% of nations in Africa could not provide their people with even a single dose.Equity can be achieved through a global agreement, but this will require that wealthy nations stop defending the interests of pharmaceutical companies who seek to perpetuate a dependency model of technological development and production.
