Less than one month ago W.H.O. Chief, dr. Tedros Adhranom Ghebreyesus, said:
"Every day there are six times more boosters administered globally than primary doses in low-income countries. This is a scandal that must stop now". Dr. Tedros reiterated that only immunocompromised people should be administered booster doses. According to reports, more than 36 countries are currently administering booster doses.
"It make no sense to give boosters to healthy adults or to vaccinate children when older people and other high-risk groups are still waiting for their first dose." The exception, as Dr. Tedros said, are immunocompromised individuals who are unable to fight infections.
People who represent one third of world population are still waiting for their first dose.
...sadly, money speaks!
ReplyDeleteTrue!
DeletePharmaceutical multinational companies are ruling the world ... many prime ministers can be considered as Big Pharma's puppets.
Tom is right - money and politics speak.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday, Giorgio!
Completely agree on this, Veronica.
DeleteThanks for sharing your point of view!
It has always been this way and I am afraid we are on the verge of everything getting worse.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Nicole, as many people who "rule the world" have already announced that the next coronavirus will be more lethal than Delta & Omicron. It is easy to understand that they already know how to fill technology & BigPharma's wallets again and again.
DeleteConsequently, richer people, who hold multinational companies' shares (biotech, pharma, technology, retail, etc.) and treasury bonds, are going to become richer. And poor people are going to become poorer.
Thank you for sharing your comment, Nicole.
The world is full of inequality.
