CH 15: The vaccine disgrace

As vaccinations became available, I thought finally I can leave in peace without sending any more of you to rest in peace. The logical expectation was a “vaccine urgency” – i.e. encouraging everyone to get vaccinated in the shortest time possible to safeguard against me. To my utter surprise and dismay, there came coining of new phrases like “vaccine diplomacy” and “vaccine protectionism,” which no one even contemplated when they were desperate to stop my onslaught.

It was shocking that despite the sufferings I caused, resulting in millions of deaths and hundreds of millions of infections, you could not come together in a matter of global lifesaving urgency. Otherwise, in the initial phase, how come the 7 wealthiest nations, representing just 13% of the world’s populations, bought over 50% of the world’s vaccine supply? Thanks to vaccine inequity and unequal global distribution, I had enough time to evolve and reappear (Omicron) to strike again.

While you were fighting over who shipped vaccines to whom, sometimes outright stopping shipment, arguing over patent and distribution issues, and hoarding vaccines when others are waiting in long queue for the jab – people were suffering and dying. What a mess of your own making!
