My car insurance company rewards me for good driving. Should health insurance companies be doing the same? @HealthFinInst

It is hard to understand how we are not readily applying the power of digital data + wellness-linked health insurance models in the populations that need it most...

This is a moral and market failure. Read more 👇@HealthFinInst

2021 is an opportunity to correct course 🌟

We MUST ensure multilateral efforts have funding to support equitable access to #COVIDVaccines

Expected economic cost:

🇺🇸 United States = $ 45 billion to US$ 1.38 trillion
🇬🇧 United Kingdom = US$ 8.5–146 billion
🇩🇪 Germany = US$ 14–248 billion

🔔 We HAVE to do more research on this ASAP

Purchasing a vaccine with a diminished effectiveness could cripple the 🇿🇦 South African economy and further spread anti-vaccination sentiments.

The country cannot afford to purchase a vaccine with lower than 80-85% efficacy 💉

BREAKING—Good & bad news—The Moderna #COVID19 vaccine fully protected against the UK 🇬🇧 #B117 variant... but was 6x less efficient at neutralizing the South African #B1351 variant in lab test. Moderna is testing a newly synthesized booster for it—3rd shot. https://t.co/4s4Ysr5cSp

Thanks to @AnnaBanerji @jenna_patt @TDivala @RanuDhillon @PandemicEthics for your thoughts on this topic.

[Jenna Patterson @jenna_patt]

It is hugely important for us to take a step back here and not only consider how vaccines are being distributed WITHIN countries but also ACROSS countries 🫂 #equity @GaviSeth @MikkelsenBente_ @andreafeigl1 @HealthFinInst

Thank you to @LaurenPelley for amplifying our voices in this time of uncertainty 🧵

The simple truth is that we really won't be able to go back to the "new normal" until all countries are vaccinated against #COVID19 💉

A lack of vaccination in these countries also means they will be unable to re-open and begin economic recovery.

Lags in the economic recovery of a few countries greatly effects the global economy.

We have seen how debt crises frequently spread economic pain globally 🌍
