The World Health Organization (WHO) aims for at least 40 percent of the population in every single country in the world to be vaccinated by 2021.

The speech of the numbers is quite clear: It will in all probability not happen.

WHO bekymret: - Kan ta verden tilbake til start

WHO CONCERNED: – Can take the world back to the beginning

In Africa, the WHO set a goal that ten percent of the population should be vaccinated before September became October. Only nine countries managed it .

  • In countries such as Haiti, Congo and Yemen, less than one percent of the population has
    one vaccine dose.
  • The 50 poorest countries in the world, home to 20 percent of the world’s population, have

    only received two percent of all vaccine doses produced .

    – One of the worst moral breakdowns in the western world in a long, long time, says the profiled doctor Mads Gilbert.

    – Nationalism won in the face of the pandemic, says Jan Egeland , Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council.

    A new vaccine advertisement from the Australian health authorities, which is aimed at young people, is attracting a lot of attention. Reporter: Julie Tran Vis) mer – Stupidest thing we can do As long as large parts of the world’s population are not vaccinated, the world also risks becoming confronted by new and potentially more dangerous mutant viruses.

    – What is happening now is the dumbest thing we can do – purely epidemiologically, says Gilbert.

    He reaches out to how western and rich countries early in the pandemic worked to secure for themselves and their inhabitants as many vaccines as possible, instead of coordinating work globally. Regardless of whether it was the intention or not, the result is that it has been at the expense of countries with less economic power.

    It is short-term and will hit back at the western world, Gilbert believes.

    – With this Western egoism and brutality, we make sure to cultivate a reservoir of viruses that will spread unchecked in unvaccinated populations. Then there will also be new mutant viruses in our part of the world, no matter how much we try to wall ourselves in, says the superior.

    FHI: – Not unrealistic ()) Gilbert receives professional support from Frode Forland, subject director at FHI.

    – The risk of mutations is greatest where a lot of virus is circulating. It is therefore important to fight this pandemic with a global perspective, says Forland.

    As long as large parts of the world are not vaccinated, there is also a risk of being confronted with new virus variants.

    – It is not unrealistic that we can get new varieties that are more contagious or that can cause more serious illness. This is a scenario we must be prepared for, says Forland to Dagbladet.

    – No one is safe until everyone gets vaccinated

    ()) To vaccinate larger parts of the world’s population, are needed to fight the pandemic – also here in Norway.

    – The most important thing we can do to prevent new, more contagious, or serious variants, is to fight the infection in all countries. The work with a fair production and vaccine distribution is politically, but professionally well-founded. New varieties will also come back to us. The WHO’s Director General has said that inequality in vaccine distribution is the biggest obstacle to ending the global coronavirus pandemic. I agree with that, says Forland.

    Jan Egeland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council, is fully aware of what went wrong, and why, when the pandemic took hold of the world.

    – There is no doubt that a dangerous nationalist wave is spreading across the industrial and western world in the wake of the pandemic. Our leaders and so-called “most people” thought it was more important to save ourselves, than to think that this was a global pandemic that we had to fight on a global level.

    Egeland is also worried about new and potentially more dangerous virus variants, and fears that countries such as Afghanistan, where only 1.1 percent of the population is fully vaccinated, could become “ideal breeding grounds” for the virus.

    View more B I just returned from Afghanistan where hundreds of thousands of people live close together and fear a cold winter. There are almost no vaccinated, says Egeland.

    Providing the world with enough vaccines is both in line with Norwegian ideals and in Norwegian self-interest, Egeland believes.

    – Now we already have a delta virus, which is spreading. When, for example, the omega virus comes from an unvaccinated country, it will eventually reach Norwegians as well, and it can knock us all out, says Egeland.

      . UN-supported Covax, a vaccine collaboration funded by Norway, among others, was to be the global answer to a global problem.

      The goal was for prosperous countries to support Covax financially to such an extent that the vaccine collaboration could meet the pharmaceutical companies with economic power.

      Instead, Covax has been pushed back into the queue to buy vaccines, and once they have obtained vaccines, they have had great difficulty distributing them. .

      – Covax has not failed, but they are failing, says doctor Ayoade Alakija, a member of the vaccine program of the African Union, to New York Times .

        Will force the pharmaceutical industry

        Both Egeland and Gilbert believe a large part of the solution to the challenge is to make it easier to produce more vaccines in several parts of the world.

        – One must look at patents and production bottlenecks, so that much more vaccine can be produced where most people live, in Asia and Africa, says Egeland.

        Gilbert goes even further.

        OPINIONS

        Different vaccine access threatens the whole world

        – Pharmaceutical giants such as Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and the other major vaccine makers must be forced immediately to release their vaccine recipes. At the same time, centers must be built in the “Global South” where the vaccine can be produced and distributed with short transport distances, says the superior, and thus goes straight into the patent debate which marked the world press earlier this spring .

        In addition, Egeland calls for solidarity.

        – Norwegian men in their 60s, who myself, must not get a third dose until the Afghans I met at the beginning of this week get their first. There is a simple logic here. We are nowhere near having a vaccine spread even where the pandemic kills in the tens of thousands, says the Secretary General.
