Recently, the UN had a virtual meeting. With the Covid-19 pandemic soon reaching the grim milestone of a million deaths, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday criticized those countries who are executing “side deals” to get vaccines solely for their own populations, saying such “vaccinationalism” is “self-defeating.” Guterres said, “We are working to advance treatments and therapies as a global public good – and backing efforts for a people’s vaccine available and affordable everywhere. Yet some countries are reportedly making side deals exclusively for their own populations."

“Such ‘vaccinationalism’ is not only unfair, it is self-defeating. None of us is safe until all of us are safe. Likewise, economies cannot run with a runaway pandemic,” he stated in his address to the 75th session of the UN General Assembly that began on Tuesday in the shadow of the devastating and still raging Covid-19 pandemic. Global organization Oxfam has warned that wealthy nations representing just 13 percent of the world’s population have already cornered more than half (51 percent) of the promised doses of leading Covid-19 vaccine candidates.

Oxfam said the struggles of rich countries, especially the US, to adopt a “me first” nationalistic approach limits coordination and could prevent or delay the vaccine from reaching people who are at most risk, both living in developing countries and here at home. The Covid-19 pandemic has so far infected over 30 million people and more than 958,000 people have died. The US, with 6.7 million infections, crossed the grim milestone of 200,000 deaths.
