The Swedish activist Greta Thunberg donated 100,000 euros raised by its Fridays for Future foundation to the Covax program that fights for equal access to vaccines against Covid, distributing doses to the poorest countries in the world.
This was announced by the World Health Organization. “The international community needs to do more to tackle the tragedy of inequality in the spread of vaccines,” said the 18-year-old who became famous for her battles against climate change. “We have the means at our disposal to correct the great imbalance that exists today in the world of the fight against Covid-19. Just as with the environmental crisis, we must first help those who are most vulnerable,” he added.
“Greta Thunberg has inspired millions of people around the world to take action to tackle the climate crisis and her strong support for vaccine equity to fight the Covid-19 pandemic once again demonstrates her commitment to making our world a place. healthier, safer and fairer for all people. I urge the global community to follow Greta’s example and do what it can, in support of Covax, to protect the world‘s most vulnerable people from this pandemic, “commented the WHO Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
