“There’s no question poorer countries are having a hard time affording doses,” said Dr Howard Markel, a pandemic historian at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. “Even if they were at wholesale or cost there are a lot of different markups.”
Activists gonna activist
This article and all the bleating charities (including the EU Commission) calling for 'fairness in distributing covid vaccines' are in denial of basic biology and behaviour associated with isolation by distance. Vaccine demand far outstrips supply. Do the calculations, FFS!
A developing country like India is producing an indigenous Vaccine called Covaxin, in addition to the Atra Zeneca vax. It has provided 58 million doses to 71 countries , despite its own vast population still waiting for it.
You should start writing about libtard politicians supporting irresponsible and unsustainable “family planning” policies in Africa and Asia. How they encourage migration of these unfortunate ppl just to use them to make even more profit or broaden their voting base. Apartheid.
A shameful article complaining about the lack of vax speed. Meanwhile the real apartheid is countries dividing citizens into classes of either vaccinated or unvaccinated based on a 'health passport' with the latter losing almost all of the privileges they had in normal times

vaccines should be distributed based on vitamin D/sunshine. africa population 1.2 billion, 112,000 deaths.
Germany could have easily unilaterally ordered enough vaccine from German based BioNtech and CureVac but chose the more difficult path of European solidarity. It is also the second largest contributer to Covax. How much vaccine has the UK exported?
Everything's apartheid now....
