Slap of rich countries to WHO: “First the third dose to us, then we’ll see”

BERLIN – First our citizens, then, perhaps, who knows. The United States, France and Germany replied “no” to the appeal of the World Health Organization, which asked to delay the distribution of a third dose of vaccines to facilitate the arrival of drugs in countries with fewer resources. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director, had launched the proposal on Wednesday, stressing that the commitment to protect the population from the Delta variant is “understandable”, but that there is an injustice behind this project.
