Amnesty International accuses industrialized countries of hypocrisy
In the corona pandemic, the human rights organization Amnesty International accuses politicians from industrialized countries of hypocrisy. Western countries have colluded with big business in the vaccine race, exacerbating inequality between rich and poor countries. While pharmaceutical companies would have made very large profits, the USA or European industrialized countries would have hoarded vaccines. Although there was enough vaccine for the entire world population, only four percent of the population in poor countries had been vaccinated by the end of 2021. Health systems in Africa often reached their limits.
