Two problems have stymied efforts to get more people vaccinated against Covid-19 worldwide: Vaccine skepticism and vaccine scarcity. A coalition of 42 Catholic domestic and international health care providers and development and relief agencies was launched this month to address both of those challenges. The coalition will confront misinformation here in the United States and supply worries overseas, where poor nations so far have only been allocated a fraction of the doses they need to turn back the pandemic.

Sanders, Warren, 8 others tell Joe Biden to go for vaccine IPR waiver © Provided by The Times of India
NEW DELHI: Ten prominent American senators, including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, have asked US President Joe Biden to accept India and South Africa’s proposal for patent relaxations under the World Trade Organisation’s agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) to enable countries to access drugs and vaccines and combat the impact of Covid-19.
“Allowing countries to manufacture locally will expedite access to vaccines and treatment, prevent unnecessary deaths, expedite global vaccination efforts, and facilitate a stronger, faster economic recovery. Unfortunately, despite widespread support for its adoption, the Trump Administration led opposition to the waiver and, with a handful of other WTO signatories, has blocked its adoption,” the senators wrote on Thursday.
