"There remain 3.5 billion people on this earth, nearly half of the world’s population, who have not received even a first dose of vaccine. Only 2% of the African population has received even a single dose." #Equity #COVID19 Via @NatureMedicine https://t.co/k6cG6vyQ5d pic.twitter.com/DsbWVvQ9R7

Prioritising COVID booster shots in high income countries is unethical – until health care workers and those at high risk in low and middle income countries have been vaccinated. @paimadhu and @zchagla wrote this much better than I could – thank you! https://t.co/F89o8y9V8P
