Matthew 24:6-7 “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.”
COVID-19 Response – America Must defeat the Virus by Getting Rest of the World Vaccinated.
#Biden administration sending 9 million #Covid vaccine doses to #Africa
The announcement comes as the #omicron variant, first detected in #SouthAfrica, spreads around the #world.
“The president has been clear from the start: If we want to protect the #American people and our economy, we must defeat the virus everywhere,” #WhiteHouse coronavirus response coordinator Jeffrey Zients said during a briefing Friday morning. “That means we must ensure the rest of the world gets vaccinated.”
Zients added that the doses going to Africa are part of 11 million doses being sent out worldwide on Friday.
“That’s more doses donated by the #U.S. in a single day than what all but seven other countries have donated in total since the start of this pandemic,” Zients added.
Despite donations from the U.S. and other #Western countries, #African nations have largely struggled to vaccinate their populations. Many countries are grappling with supply issues and logistical challenges — such as how to keep the #Pfizer vaccine at cold temperatures — as well as vaccine hesitancy among their populations.
African leaders pushed back against the decision by #Biden and other Western countries to impose travel restrictions on African nations, arguing that punitive measures were taken after South Africa shared information openly about the new variant.
The U.S. and other wealthy countries have been criticized for racing ahead with their vaccination programs, offering booster shots, while other countries have had difficulty accessing vaccines.
Roughly 10 percent of people in Africa have received at least one dose of a Covid vaccine, compared to the 64 percent that are vaccinated in North America and 62 percent in Europe.
Zients said the U.S. has now shipped 291 million doses to 110 countries, and reiterated the Biden administration’s commitment to donating 1.2 billion doses to foreign nations.
“For context, that means for every one shot the Biden administration has administered in the U.S. to vaccinate Americans, we are donating about three doses to people around the world,” Zients said.
