I have been thinking about this lately. An African scientist has developed 2 vaccine candidates and he can't obtain funding to conduct vaccine trials!!!

For months now, African gov'ts have been lamenting about vaccine nationalism, BEGGING rich countries to share their vaccines and advocating for #TRIPSWaiver . Perhaps if @christian_happi had received funds 2 months ago, he would be inching closer to Africa's own vaccine
Africa's political leadership seems determined to follow the same script of begging their way out of trouble but rich countries don't seem to be moved. Hoarders are still hoarding, some are still opposing the #TRIPSwaiver and now #vaccinomacy has become the norm.
