Wealthy countries with large vaccine supplies, are in a position to provide much-needed assistance to #Nepal. It would be an affront to our collective moral conscience to let this happen again, when we already know how it ends. My plea to @BorisJohnson: inews.co.uk/opinion/covid-…
The UK Government icould step in to provide assistance. Nepalese prime minister KP Sharma Oli has made a personal plea to the UK, as it’s “oldest friend”, to supply the vaccines it needs.
Time is running out.
The crisis in #Nepal is not the first and will not be the last.
Time is running out.
The crisis in #Nepal is not the first and will not be the last.
To save lives now, Prime Minister Boris Johnson can lead by example by immediately providing the doses needed to fully immunise 1.4 million Nepalis. This isn’t an unrealistic request.
Sharing #COVID19 vaccine supplies and increasing their production should NOT be about charity. It should be a global policy enforced by international rules and mechanisms. SHAME on all the rich countries hoarding vaccines in the name of greed.
Countries must support moves at the World Trade Organisation to lift intellectual property restrictions on life-saving products and push big pharma to share their knowledge and technology. Viruses don’t care about borders. This is a global issue that requires global action now
