Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Among Those Slamming West’s COVID-19 Policies: ‘The Pandemic Is Not Over’
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are continuing to do their bit to make sure everyone around the world is protected against COVID-19.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have spoken openly about vaccine equity for months, were among over a hundred people who signed an open letter urging “world leaders to do what is necessary to end this crisis and unite behind a People’s Vaccine.” The letter released Friday stated: “Sadly, despite what some leaders in wealthy countries would like us to believe, the pandemic is not over.
But it is within our grasp to end it and ensure everyone is protected. That requires giving everyone, everywhere access to safe and effective vaccines and other life-saving COVID-19 technologies.
This is possible, thanks to the incredible advances of science and the public investment of governments around the world.” It continued, “However, the cruel reality is that self defeating nationalism, pharmaceutical monopolies and inequality stand in our way.
