Khairy to World Bank: Speak out against immoral act of vaccine hoarding

The National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme coordinating minister called for vaccine equity among nations now and in the future, saying it would be the only way to emerge from the pandemic.

“We set up Covax in global solidarity as a mechanism to ensure vaccine equity and that has been an abysmal failure," he said, referring to the international scheme designed to ensure that poorer nations are not left behind in the Covid-19 fight. “And I think the World Bank owes it to developing countries to be a strong voice for vaccine equity... to remind the advanced countries that what has taken place over the last few months has fallen short of respectable and responsible global leadership,” he said in a special address at the launch of the World Bank’s 24th Malaysia Economic Monitor entitled “Weathering the Surge” on Wednesday .

Instead of only vaccine, this could be another alternative too

Instead of shouting at others, why dun you speed up the process of vax of nursing home, staffs at pasar borong , courier n food delivery riders.

Is rebottling vaccines equates hoarding too ? Intentionally creating middlemen that ultimately delays the vaccine rollout, causing needless deaths, infections and MCO after MCO ?
