📢 Experts say we have a year or less before first-generation Covid-19 vaccines are ineffective & modified formulations are needed.
Survey concludes new variants could arise in countries with low vaccine coverage…
…which is still almost everywhere.

theguardian.com/world/2021/mar…
We're creating a world in which a few countries will always be fighting over scarce supplies of new vaccines to combat new variants…
…while most countries will have no access or delayed access to vaccines, leaving billions of bodies for new variants to form in.
Cui bono?

Cui bono?
If the production of approved vaccines is currently too slow to keep up with the rate of new resistant strains emerging, then the world absolutely must boost production capacity.
Yet, some countries are still blocking wider production of vaccines...

Of course, global production capacity would not increase immediately with this move, but the sooner these governments stop blocking it, the sooner it can happen.
If these governments had listened when experts (and other governments) started talking about this 6 or 7 months ago, we'd be 6 or 7 months ahead of where we are right now.

With limited vaccine production, the pandemic becomes a deadly kind of "Red Queen's race" à la Lewis Carroll...
“Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

The world "must run at least twice as fast as that" to defeat the pandemic.
The EU, UK, US, Australia, Japan, Norway & Switzerland must stop blocking wider production of approved vaccines.

COVID-19 spreads like wildfire. Solutions must travel even faster. No one is safe until everyone has access to safe and effective treatments and vaccines.
