Wealthy countries and pharmaceutical giants have a “moral obligation” to ensure that COVID-19 vaccines are available to all. So says a group of more than 150 religious leaders, including the Dalai Lama, who are demanding commitments from the EU and others at next month’s G7 summit. It’s hard to disagree, but morality and politics are not natural bedfellows. The world’s wealthy won’t be shamed into sharing their vaccine supplies. Developing countries need to be more aggressive in asserting their interests, and Kenya’s approach to the UK offers a useful model. Earlier this month, Kenya, along with India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, was added to the UK’s ‘red list’, which forces travellers from those countries to quarantine in a government-designated hotel for ten days, at a cost of over €2,000.
