The Guardian. This opinion column by the Director General of the WHO applies to much, much more than just COVID and vaccines. It’s an apt and timely lesson that the problems and solutions of dealing with pandemics are the problems and solutions of dealing with global problems, generally. If you read the column and substitute “resources” for “vaccines”, and read “climate change”, and/or “overpopulation” for “COVID”, it appears obvious that the common requirement for overcoming them all is equitable sharing. The motivation to recognize that equitable sharing as necessary is a gift from the pandemic. Our common vulnerability to the virus may be the real life experience needed to open our eyes to our local and global connections, inter-dependence, and vulnerability. [ARTICLE LINK]
