Covid-19: The world has the tools to end the pandemic. They’re not being used properly

CNN  

London CNN — The Covid-19 pandemic will not last forever. “This is the major issue: There was never a plan, there still isn’t a plan at a global level,” said Andrea Taylor, assistant director of programs at the Duke Global Health Institute. “It isn’t just pockets – huge swathes of the world have unacceptably low vaccine coverage,” Taylor said. “It’s feast or famine at the moment – get nothing for three months, and all of a sudden they get millions of doses,” said Taylor. “Some kind of binding legal agreement that countries sign onto could give us something of a coordinated global plan, which is what we’re lacking now,” Taylor said.
