Pharma giants condemned over lack of jabs for global South
BRITISH campaigners have condemned a report revealing that less than 5 per cent of people in low-income countries were fully jabbed last year, despite firms producing enough doses for 40 per cent of the world.
Amnesty International’s report, released today, analyses the pandemic profits of pharmaceutical companies and accuses Big Pharma of putting “their own greed before their human rights responsibilities.”
Its analysis shows that Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna estimated profits of up to £40 billion in 2021, yet supplied less than 2 per cent of their vaccines to low-income countries.
