BBC article about uneven vaccine rollout - NO MENTION of WHO's requests for last several weeks for UK to stop blocking emergency compulsory licenses to let weaker economies make their own vaccines and drugs, or to swap batches for 10 million early doses.

This is about the WHO's repeated call to wealthy economes for rapid transfer of COVID vaccine technology to weaker economies to solve bottlenecks & vaccinate world ultrafast - to stop blocking TRIPS or find another solution:

Short summary: Brazil can make an extra 100 million doses by July through technology transfer with AstraZeneca. We could have many factories like htis for the other vaccines too if wealthy countries stopped blocking TRIPS or found another way to permit it debunkingdoomsday.quora.com/By-this-WTO-ru…

Wealthy countries secured nearly all early doses for themselves. Dr Tedros asks for a batch swap of 10 million of these to save lives. That's 2 days of doses in UK / US / EU / Canada and US has tens of millions of AstraZeneca doses unused on shelves. debunkingdoomsday.quora.com/USA-Can-Easily…

Hardly anyone in wealthy countries knows this is going on. It's big news in weaker economies that wealthy countries stockpiled unused doses while they continue to block technology transfer to let weaker economies make their own. This helps nobody! science20.com/robert_walker/…

Please do what you can to spread awareness. What our governemnts do in our name is not right, not ethical, doesn't protect us, world will be over this faster if health workers are protected eveywhere and it helps vaccine bottlenecks worldwide to let weaker economies make them.
