@Telenet Klantenservice is hopeless and already for half an hour on the phone for the third time. None replies not even to emails but they charge enormous amounts for a service they do not provide
Great to see finally how #institutional investors are demanding #pharma companies to make #vaccines equitably available globally. A call I hoped to see since last year. Lets see how this will change the situation where most needed fast.
The new Covid variant should mobilize everybody to help #Africa to get vaccinated. Stop #vaccine apartheid and fast track #manufacturing in Africa with #waiver adopted by #WTO https://t.co/NIdpbwlYcI bans will not work,vaccines will.
Dear Els, fully agree but we also need to have better communication from WHO about the spread of the new variant and the role this variant plays in the surge of infections among the vaccinated. Why do we still rely on information on vaccines targeted at the wuhan variant .
Other emergency measures should include massive financial support (not loans!), equitable vaccine sharing, technology transfer for vaccine production and the #TRIPSwaiver. These are long overdue and could have prevent the emergence of variants in the first place
Now that Belgium also reported a person with the #new variant first identified in South Africa will the #EU also #ban all travel from Belgium? Instead we should help Africa to vaccinate quickly!
We should not punish people from Southern Africa but be happy that South African scientists identified the variant and reported on it quickly to the rest of the world.A travel ban is unfair.We should provide large scale access to the vaccines for those same countries now
