The US has has announced it will donate 500 million coronavirus vaccines to poorer countries. 'This is about our responsibility, our humanitarian obligation to save as many lives as we can,' said President Joe Biden.

US President Joe Biden on Thursday saluted a"historic" moment in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic afterFrench President Emmanuel Macron issued his own call for pharmaceutical groups producing vaccines to donate 10 per cent of their production to poor nations.

Although pockets of the rich world have scored successes against the disease, the gains are fragile and billions of mostly poor people remain unprotected. WHO regional director for Africa, Matshidiso Moeti, said the continent required an extra 225 million doses to be able to vaccinate a tenth of its people by September this year.

Dismissing suggestions that it is in a so-called vaccine diplomacy contest with Russia and China, Washington has described its initiatives as a return to multilateral action after the nationalist isolationism under Mr Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump.

When China gives vaccines it is called propaganda, when America does it , with a huge delay, it is called help. Where were they last 12 months

Action speaks louder than words. China and Russia have been doing that without much fan fare and you only talk at this stage.

Maybe Australia should be lining up beggar's cap in hand.
