BRETT: You know, we really are living in the 1970s. If you think about it, we’ve got inflation, we’ve got spiking gas prices, we’ve got gas shortages.

Parliament’s Committee on Trade debated on Thursday how to increase vaccine production effectively with WTO Director-General Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
In reply to trade committee MEPs’ questions over what measures are needed to accelerate equitable access to vaccines, Dr Okonjo-Iweala argued in favour of expanding vaccine production and ending export restrictions.
She said: “Getting the Intellectual Property rights waiver for vaccines will not be enough”.
