WHO Warns of a 'Catastrophic Moral Failure' Due to 'Unfair' Covid-19 Vaccine Distribution
PJ Media ^ | 01/20/2021 | Rick Moran

Posted on 01/20/2021 6:48:42 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The professional nags at the World Health Organization are at it again. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the world was on the brink of a “catastrophic moral failure” for the inequitable distribution of the COVID vaccine.

The WHO chief said that the “recent emergence of rapidly-spreading variants makes the rapid and equitable rollout of vaccines all the more important.” He said that there have been 39 million vaccine doses distributed in 49 rich Western countries, and only 25 doses in one of the poorest.

Via CNBC:

"Beginning his speech, Tedros had emphasized that the development and approval of safe coronavirus vaccines less than a year after the virus’ emergence in China, in late 2019, was a “stunning achievement and a much needed source of hope.”

However, he added that “it’s not right that younger, healthier adults in rich countries are vaccinated before health workers and older people in poorer countries.”

No Western country currently allows anyone except frontline health care workers, first responders, and citizens over 65 to be vaccinated, so it’s unclear which “younger, healthier adults” Mr. Tedros is grousing about getting vaccinated.

Without naming names, Tedros said some countries and companies speak the language of equitable access but continue to prioritize bilateral deals, bypassing COVAX, which is driving up prices and attempting to jump to the front of the line. “This is wrong,” he said.

COVAX is a global scheme co-led by an international vaccine alliance called Gavi, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and also the WHO. It was established to ensure equitable vaccine access for every country in the world. It aims deliver 2 billion doses of safe, effective vaccines that have passed regulatory approval and/or WHO prequalification by the end of 2021.

Then make and distribute your own vaccine. However, that being said, you can have my dose. I don’t want it.

Countdown to Biden giving our doses to other countries.

BUT, deaths of Americans won’t be his fault.

HAHAHAHAHA!

The WHO discussing "Moral Failure"...

The pro-Abortion, pro-euthanasia, pro-population control outfit, wants to lecture us on morals.

NBA players were whining they should get it first, as they pay soooo much in taxes.

Funny.

If they came out and said blacks have to take it first there would be riots.

This will mean the we white folks here in the USA won’t be getting it. That plug ugly dude in a skirt that Plugs just appointed will make sure of that. But,of course,*he* will get it as will his mother who he yanked out of a nursing home when residents started dropping like flies.

And, in fact, starting today, anyone who is shown to die of Covid-19 is about 99.9% likely to have actually died of it. They will not keep counting every gunshot victim and auto accident fatality as Covid, so as to keep the numbers low for Joe.

I’m one of those under 65 and not a health care worker in the US getting the vaccine before healthcare and older workers in poorer countries.

But then I put my health and possibly life at risk by participating in one of the studies to get a vaccine cleared.

Lies. The WHO want to force ALL 3rd world countries to get the vaccine to massively depopulate them. Africans are not taking the vaccine because they are not dying, due to Hydroxychloroquine. Don’t believe me? Wait until their next few waves of “Frankenstein-Virus” come.

Your God given immunity, vitamins, and Hydroxychloroquine/Ivermectin are the key. Never submit to tyranny

I came across one of those stupid headlines on LinkedIn last week about an alleged “racial disparity” in COVID vaccine distribution in the U.S. Within the first paragraph of the article the headline was exposed as a fraud. It turns out the low rates of vaccination among minority groups has nothing to do with the distribution process and is driven entirely by the REFUSAL of many minorities to take it.
