If you still think that vaccine donations are going to reach in time the billions of people in poorer countries who haven't had one dose yet, and thus end the global pandemic for all of us, you are either living on another planet, or you're hoodwinked by the EU Commission's lies.

The most powerful line from this report may be this:
"We were misled – down the garden path – we got to December believing the world was coming together around vaccines, not knowing that we got corralled into a little corner while others run off and secure the supplies."
"We were misled – down the garden path – we got to December believing the world was coming together around vaccines, not knowing that we got corralled into a little corner while others run off and secure the supplies."
Report: "...there is a more insidious consequence of the overreliance on donations: it reinforces neo-colonial power dynamics & an outdated charity model, leaving low-income countries’ ability to vaccinate their populations dependent on the 'generosity' of wealthy countries."
And so we see the EU Commission try to brag - its white saviour trope in full gear - about how generous it is, when its donations have been paltry compared to the need.

And all to make sure that the profits keep flowing to the pharma monopolies, no matter the cost to the rest of the world - and no matter even the cost to Europe as well...
