Mrs Gates Against Vaccine Nationalism! By Mrs Vera West
Melinda Gates has come out firing against vaccine nationalism for Covid-19, wanting to push globalism even here. This disorder exists, even among the vaccine cult, fighting over how best to jab everybody:
“One of the biggest voices in the fight to crush the COVID-19 pandemic is speaking out against vaccine nationalism.
“I am deeply concerned whenever I hear about vaccine nationalism. I think we have a moral responsibility to make sure everybody gets a vaccine,” Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation co-chair Melinda Gates told Yahoo Finance. “If there's an estimate that says that if only high-income countries get a vaccine first, we're going to see twice as much death around the world. And we're going to have a much, much slower recovery of all of our economies, not just the middle and low income, but even the high-income countries.”
Vaccine nationalism is the view that in response to pandemics or other health crises, countries put their own interests first instead of joining forces globally to tackle the problem. In effect, countries with the funds to do so hoard precious vaccines and crowd out less financially fortunate countries.
The problem here as it pertains to the COVID-19 pandemic is that wealthy countries such as the U.S. and U.K. have already purchased large quantities of yet-to-be approved vaccines from the likes of Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. While that is great news for their respective populations, to Gates’ point it could lead to an uneven economic recovery process as less wealthy countries struggle to gain access to needed vaccines.
And this could have a very negative impact in 2021 and beyond as vaccines begin to be distributed.
Vaccine nationalism could cost the global economy up to $1.2 trillion a year in GDP, according to research from Rand Corporation. The research shows the U.S., the U.K., European Union and other high-income countries in total stand to lose about $119 billion a year if the poorest countries are denied supplies of a COVID-19 vaccine.”
Well, perhaps we should let the Third World go first, and sit back and see what happens for nothing must damage GDP the sacred. I want to see the Gates loving couple take the vaccine, first, delivered by someone not on their payroll. Anyway, Big Pharma gets richer, which is all that matters at the end of the day.
