Developing countries should manufacture and procure their own vaccines, Ramaphosa says

“This summit must come up with a sustainable plan on how developing countries will be supported. Not only to meet targets around vaccination, oxygen, diagnostics, personal protective equipment but also for manufacturing. We must close the financing and supply gap for Covax, AVATT and other mechanisms,” said Ramaphosa on Wednesday.

Earlier, Biden announced that: “The US is buying another half a billion of doses of Pfizer to donate to low and middle income countries around the world. This is another half a billion doses that will all be shipped by this time next year. That brings our total commitment of donated vaccines to over 1.1 billion vaccines to be donated.”

Yea... CR, spread the enormous profits BIG PHARMA gains through governments all over the world.

I totally agree. Africa must start being the source & not the beggars. Let’s show the world what we can do. Let’sBuildTogether WeHaveTheResources StopCorruption BuildAndGrow Entrepreneurship

Translation: 'my WMC friends/owners owners want to be rich through this pandemic... please allow me to give them that opportunity. I have to make good on their investment in making me a president.'

This man needs to stop living in the clouds,the entire population will be dead from Covid as the BEE brigade clamours for tenders and government minsters spew their arrogance over any opportunity to manufacture the vaccines in SA..eventually a school teacher will get the tender.

Good idea Mr president

There's no free lunch

Bathong the same president who took media to receive expired dose of vaccine on national tv

africaupdates Weren't those vaccines tagged as not being safe for usage in the US?

Vaccines need to be tested and analyzed globally for consistency per country... trustno1
