Quote of the Day

 Kate Elder, senior vaccines policy advisor at MSF’s (Doctors Without Borders) Access Campaign, said the world is at a "devastating place of vaccine inequity precisely because pharmaceutical corporations prioritized profits over lives and the countries where these companies are primarily based decided to pursue a 'me first' approach."

"The longer billions of people remain unvaccinated, the more variants will develop that threaten all of us," Elder added. "This profit-driven and self-centered approach is not only morally questionable, but shortsighted.”
