Only 0.3% of doses in low-income countries, while the richest have distributed 85%, a difference is not only ethically unjust, it is also very dangerous. As long as the virus continues to circulate freely, there will always be a risk of new variants. One or more could be resistant to our vaccines, compromising the campaigns. "
