GENEVA (AN) — WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus expressed moral outrage on Monday at the glaring inequity of rich nations' young, healthy adults getting vaccinated for the coronavirus ahead of poor nations' elderly and health care workers.
Tedros opened the U.N. health agency's week-long executive board meeting by haranguing wealthy countries for locking up most of 2021’s COVID-19 vaccine supply — six times what developing nations expect to get over the next four years — despite the COVAX Facility’s multilateral efforts to ensure all nations have equal access, global health data shows.
