"Inequitable access to COVID-19 vaccines has turned out to be the catastrophic
moral failure the World Health Organization’s director-general warned about at
the beginning of 2021.

International efforts to equitably distribute COVID-19 vaccine doses failed
miserably during 2020-2021, when wealthy countries bought up the bulk of the
global supply, leaving insufficient doses for countries that couldn’t afford to
buy vaccines on the private market. This resulted in hundreds of thousands of
unnecessary deaths in low-income countries."
