Climate activist Greta Thunberg joins fight for vaccine equity

Stockholm, April 20 (RHC)-- Globally, COVID-19 cases have surpassed January’s peak to set a new record high, amid a growing disparity in vaccination rates between rich countries and the Global South.  In response, youth climate activist Greta Thunberg said her foundation would donate $120,000 to the United Nations’s COVAX initiative to purchase vaccines for poorer nations.

Greta Thunberg told reporters: “It is completely unethical that high-income countries are now vaccinating young and healthy people, if that happens at the expense of people in risk groups and on the frontlines in low- and middle-income countries.  And this is a moral test.  We talked today about showing solidarity, and yet vaccine nationalism, it’s what’s running the vaccine distribution.”
