A paltry 1.8% of vaccines administered globally have gone into arms in #Africa as a whole... And while the role of #COVAX, #US and #China is important to clarify, we have to remember the benchmark... 1.3bn doses ordered, a far cry from 121 million doses delivered so far, by all.

[Winnie Byanyima @Winnie_Byanyima]

What we saw and experienced 40 years ago with AIDS, that history is being repeated.

As Africa is now facing its third and biggest COVID wave so far, it is getting left behind in the race for vaccine doses.

This vaccine apartheid is unacceptable.

[Gender and Public Health Emergencies @Gender_COVID19]

Hearing from Selima Kabir of @BRACJPGSPH that even pre-pandemic in Bangladesh, many women woke up early (before dawn) to get housework completed before going out to work. This burden has increased.

Out of 1.4 billion #COVID19 vaccine doses administered around the world, less than 2% have reached Africa.

Equitable and sustainable vaccine roll-out worldwide is the quickest path towards a fast, and fair recovery for all. https://t.co/s6P76zO1O9

We stan Jemima Pierre: "If one of the legacies of slavery in the Americas was the racialization of enslaved Africans, and indeed the racialization of the modern world, did this legacy of race not also impact the communities on the African continent?"

[Africa Is a Country @africasacountry]

Historian Jemima Pierre argues that Whiteness serves as a reference point for Ghanaians’ notions of beauty, Blackness, and power, but Ghanaians remain blind to this. #Rewind. https://t.co/CQFDba0aVQ
