"It’s right that all governments want to prioritize vaccinating their own

"There will be enough vaccine for everyone. But right now, we must work together as one global family to prioritize those most at risk of severe disease and death, in all countries"-

"Not only does this me-first approach leave the world’s poorest & most vulnerable people at risk, it’s also self-defeating. Ultimately, these actions will only prolong the

"A recent study estimated that the economic benefits of equitable vaccine allocation for 10 high-income countries would be at least $153B in 2021, rising to $466B by 2025. That’s more than 12 times the total cost of the
