Moderna Becomes Rich-Only Vaccine Under Capitalist Greed
It is being observed that the shots of Moderna are being supplied exclusively to wealthy nations while the rest have to wait for months before the demand is entertained
In a recent article published by New York Times (NYT), the poorer countries are still queueing for the Moderna vaccine which is considered as the world’s best defense against covid19 as the manufacturers get in the race of minting more profits.
According to the data firm Airfinity, it is being observed that the shots of Moderna are being supplied exclusively to wealthy nations while the rest have to wait for months before the demand is entertained.
Tracking vaccine shipments, the data firm says that so far, Moderna has shipped a greater share of its doses to wealthy countries than any other vaccine manufacturer.
The drug is developed with the financial and scientific support of the U.S. government and it is considered one of the best shots as compared to other alternatives.
