"The gap between the number of vaccines administered in rich countries, and the number of vaccines administered through COVAX is growing every single day, and becoming more grotesque every day," WHO chief Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus Adhanom told reporters.
"Countries that are now vaccinating younger, healthy people at low risk of disease are doing so at the cost of the lives of health workers, older people and other at-risk groups in other countries.
"The world’s poorest countries wonder whether rich countries really mean what they say when they talk about solidarity," he added.

Re: Hit 'em hard, Tedros
When you depend on the beneficence of others, you are owned by them. (Which still applies when "others" is your government.) They can lament about this all they want, but when times are tough for everyone, this is what is going to happen.

Currently paying homage to the Intel Celeron in my avatar—the processor that allowed a low-income family like mine to afford a computer in the '90s.
