Variants, boosters turn rich-poor vaccine gap into chasm

@ Bronco You and me both.

I will follow Switzerland's lead and cede my place in the vaccine queue to people in less fortunate countries

As long as vaccination is replaced with other measures like isolation that is fine, the problem is people that "cede their place" but want to be treated as if they were vaccinated.

@ virusrex

Perhaps you can explain why, seeing as no one now claims the jabs either stop a person from catching the 'virus', or from transmitting it, people should be penalised for not having the jab?

This article is arguing that not enough vaccines are getting distributed to poorer countries, but in an article that I read yesterday, it was stated that South Africa said that it did not want any more vaccine doses sent to it at this time, as it is having to throw away tens of thousands of unused doses. So many people are refusing to get jabbed, apparently, that only about a third of South Africans are vaccinated, which has created an environment which contributes to the rise of new variants.
