World Health Organization secretary-general Thewardros Adhanom Governor Yeosus warned that the unfair distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine to rich and poor countries would prolong the global infectious disease. –

At the 148th WHO Board of Directors, which opened on the 18th (local time), Secretary General Gobrer Yeosus said, “Currently, more than 39 million doses of vaccine have been administered in at least 49 high-income countries.” “I received only 25 times, not 25 million times or 25,000 times.” He criticized the vaccination stocking of rich countries.

“The world is at risk of catastrophic moral failure,” he said. “The price of this failure will be the lives and livelihoods of those living in the poorest countries.”

“This action will prolong the pandemic, and regulations to contain the virus will increase human and economic suffering.”

In particular, he emphasized that the spread of the COVID-19 mutant virus has made the fair distribution of vaccines more important. “It is not right for young and healthy adults in rich countries to get vaccinations before health workers or seniors in poor countries,” he said.

“More than 70% of the recently discovered new diseases are related to transmission from animals to humans. This pandemic (a global pandemic of infectious diseases) shows that humans, animals, and the earth are related to each other.” .
