During the HIV/AIDS epidemic, high-income countries had access to lifesaving drugs while millions in developing countries were left to die.

About 75% of the 4.12 billion vaccines administered worldwide have gone to high- and upper-middle-income countries.
Only 0.6% of doses have been administered in low-income countries.
Developed countries, including the EU, have been hoarding vaccines.
