[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 4968175, member: 56035"] Outrage is growing after Johnson & Johnson shipped at least 32 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine produced in South Africa to the European Union — with plans to ship 10 million more — even as the African continent faces its deadliest wave of the pandemic. A clause in South Africa’s contract with Johnson & Johnson requires South Africa to waive its right to impose export restrictions on domestically produced vaccines. Just a small fraction of Africans have been vaccinated against COVID-19; by comparison, nearly two-thirds of Germany’s population has received at least one dose. The People’s Vaccine Alliance said in response,[B] “This is further proof that the world cannot trust a handful of pharmaceutical companies to fairly allocate vaccines across the world.” [/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.democracynow.org/2021/8/17/headlines/johnson_johnson_ships_millions_of_vaccine_doses_from_south_africa_to_europe[/URL] [/QUOTE]
