Bill Gates again spoke about the development of handling the Corona pandemic, especially the issue of vaccine distribution. The report from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation warns that there are still many people around the world who have not received the Corona vaccine even though they wanted it.
"The lack of equitable access to a COVID-19 vaccine is a public health tragedy," Bill Gates said.
The development of the Corona vaccine is indeed so fast that it can be mass produced in about a year than normally other vaccines can be 10 to 15 years before being given to the public. However, more than 80% of the Corona vaccines are controlled by high and middle income countries.
"Some countries are securing two to three times the number of doses needed for their populations, in preparation in case a vaccine booster is needed," said the Microsoft founder. They stockpile a lot of Corona vaccines as a precaution.
"At the same time, less than 1% of the dose is administered by low-income countries. That inequality is a prominent moral outrage and raises the very real risk that high-income countries will start treating COVID-19 like poverty, i.e. it's not their problem." ' said Gates.
Bill Gates has repeatedly voiced that the distribution of the Corona vaccine can be more evenly distributed in order to completely ward off the Corona pandemic. His foundation has pledged a budget of USD 17 billion which, among other things, is aimed at distributing the Corona vaccine evenly throughout the world.
"We must not ignore this Corona pandemic until everyone, wherever they are, has access to the Corona vaccine," he said some time ago.
