Prominent faith leaders in Africa, including Anglican and Roman Catholic archbishops, have implored the world\u2019s governments to support a People\u2019s Vaccine movement, to ensure that the world\u2019s most vulnerable people have protection against the Covid-19 virus.<\/p>\n
On the eve of the global Covid-19 summit of world leaders convened by President Biden, 45 faith leaders issued a joint People Vaccine Alliance statement, calling for an \u201cimmediate action to address the massive inequities in the global pandemic response\u201d.<\/p>\n
The statement, issued on Thursday, says: \u201cWe are one global family, where our problems are tightly interconnected. However, we know the greatest impediment to people getting their vaccinations, tests, and treatment is inequity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWorld leaders must renew their approach to tackling the response to the global pandemic by treating Covid-19 vaccines, tests, and treatment \u2014 not as commodities but as public goods, which all people have the right to access. We encourage world leaders to unite and stand in solidarity with people from low-income countries by supporting a People\u2019s Vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n
