#PrinceHarry: “It’s striking to now see the world’s leading AIDS activists are also leading the call for #COVID19 vaccine equity.Vaccinating the world is a test of our moral character & we’re experiencing a spectacular failure when it comes to global #VaccineEquity” #WorldAIDSDay

“Similar to the AIDS crisis, we’ve yet again revealed over the past year, that the value of life depends on whether you were born and/or live in a rich nation, or a developing country.”

#PrinceHarry’s letter was read by Dr. Meg Doherty, the @WHO’s Director of Globale HIV, Hepatitis & STIs. #WorldAIDSDay

“My mother would be deeply grateful for everything you stand for and have accomplished. We all share that gratitude, so thank you.”

#PrinceHarry: “It’s time to draw from the lessons we learned throughout the HIV/AIDS pandemic, where millions died unnecessarily due to deep inequities in access to treatment. Are we really comfortable repeating the failures of the past?” #WorldAIDSDay
