"Last week, I said that the 🌍 stood on the brink of a catastrophic moral failure if it doesn’t deliver equitable access to #COVID19 vaccines. Two new studies show that it wouldn’t just be a moral failure, it would be an economic failure"-@DrTedros

"The 2nd study, commissioned by the @iccwbo Research Foundation, makes a strong economic case for #COVID19 vaccine equity. It finds that vaccine nationalism could cost the 🌍 economy up to $9.2 trillion & almost 1/2 of that would be incurred in the wealthiest economies"-@DrTedros
"If fully funded, the @ACTAccelerator would return up to $166 for every dollar invested.
Vaccine nationalism might serve short-term political goals. But it’s in every nation’s own medium & long-term economic interest to support vaccine equity"-@DrTedros #ACTogether #COVID19

As we speak, rich countries are rolling out vaccines, while the 🌍’s least-developed countries watch & wait.
