Corona vaccine has been given to many populations. This has received praise from Bill Gates as the party who helped develop and distribute it. But on the other hand, he still feels sad.
"Today, 46% of the world's population receives at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. What a remarkable feat. Humanity has never produced and distributed vaccines for diseases faster than this. It was accomplished in 18 months than it normally would take a decade or so." more," he wrote.
But he was not satisfied and still felt sad. "But with this amazing success, there is a stark difference. Only about 2% of people in low-income countries have received the Corona vaccine. This is increasingly difficult to overcome because rich country governments buy extra doses for boosters," he explained.
According to Bill Gates, people have every right to be angry about that. The reason is that Corona can be prevented by vaccines but many people have to die because they don't get it, especially in poor countries. Then according to him, what is the solution?
The founder of Microsoft suggested that the government and decision makers seriously increase vaccine production capacity. In particular, ensuring there are sufficient resources to produce large volumes of Corona mRNA vaccine.
Then the development of prototype vaccines to fight infectious diseases that may appear in the future should be encouraged. Then it would be better if more countries could independently create their own vaccines, including the Corona vaccine.
"One long-term step is for countries to build the capacity to develop, manufacture and approve their own vaccines," advises Bill Gates.
