World leaders launch programme to boost vaccine production in Africa


French President Emmanuel Macron has joined several African leaders to kick off a planned $1.1bn project to accelerate vaccine production in Africa, after the COVID-19 pandemic exposed inequalities in access to inoculation.

  1. Africans should be ashamed for always wanting to hand out when we elected real leaders this problem will be solved this people in front of Africa today are not leaders there are puppet

  2. The EU is not aimed at saving or assisting Africa in its development; rather, it exploits the continent and its abundant resources. It does so by propping up pseudo-pan-African leaders who feign opposition to Western hegemony but are actually puppets of the West.

  3. Their objective is still uncertain as they aim to shift production to Africa to establish confidence in vaccine uptake among Africans; nonetheless, fatalities among the vaccinated worldwide are not being revealed to African nations. It is clear that their goal is not to ensure Africa's safety.

  4. Let's not rewrite history. Despite vaccine hoarding, Africa fared better than many other regions during the pandemic. It was due to lessons learned from previous deadly outbreaks, the rapid implementation of emergency measures such as tighter controls at ports of entry, and the reorientation of industry and universities to design and manufacture personal protective equipment (PPE). To put things in perspective, several African countries used spray booths before they became widespread, and businesses and academic institutions quickly adapted to develop robots, mobile clinics, respirators, masks, innovative hand-washing devices, etc. Yet the corporate media largely avoided reporting on Africa's technological ingenuity during the pandemic because it undermined the widely accepted narrative of "needy Africa."

  5. Is this associated with the current PAVM program of the African Union? The Partnership for African Vaccine Manufacturing gained traction during the notorious "vaccine hoarding" in the "global north" at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is supposed to primarily depend on investments from across Africa rather than grants from wealthy nations.

  6. Em qualquer país que os americanos saíram ou países do mundo civilizado Europa e América saíram , são hoje simplesmente países free,free,free mas miseráveis,fome,piolhos, ratos e ditaduras.É sempre o Ocidente que lhes mata a fome em ajudas humanitárias,lhes dá abrigo na emigração ou asilos políticos e lhes salvam a vida nas catástrofes.Por isso querem ser todos frees frees frees.

    Odeiam o ocidente mas na miséria é sempre o mundo civilizado tipo ONU e afins, que os salvam.

  7. If people don t want to be injected with these things, nobody should force them. The people should be free to decide if they want these or not. Nobody should be forced to take these injections. Personaly i took 0 vax and i m fine.
