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.

Except for the time line... you have got that right. It will probably take a month or two for everyone to get on board. But this over-hyped nonsense has served its purpose. The statistics on this have been distorted beyond belief. A new narrative is about to emerge... Joe Biden has saved us! All can go back to normal.
From Whatfinger.com: "24,105 total deaths by ONLY Coronavirus in the U.S. – Only 6% of deaths are by people who have no other factors, like gunshot wounds, motorcycle accidents, heart or lung conditions. Fact checks lying about what this means. Seems simple – 94% of deaths ALL have other issues plus Coronavirus. That's why if you are under 70 and get it, you have a 99% chance of survival. Let's be real. Here are some supposed ‘fact checks’ that dance around this fact 1. Reuters 2. Telegram" My brother-in-law died last Spring. He was on hospice care for a cancerous brain tumor. He was counted as a Covid death. I know two persons who suffered from pneumonia last year. They were both so relieved that they did not have Covid. One of them died and one of them has permanent lung damage from being on a ventilator.
WHO says what China wants it to say.
Tedri himself is the “catastrophic moral failure.”
Perhaps they could get preventative protection from their shamans.
Pfizer, is already shorting us doses and sending doses abroad.
Trump's EO said that they, as a US company, were supposed to meet our needs first.
And of course Biden won't do anything about it.
