This was lauded as a historic step towards ensuring equitable access to vaccines. The emerging inequity in access to coronavirus vaccines is no surprise.

For nothing except common sense, morality and self-interest, citizens of wealthy nations must pressure their governments to fund equitable access to Covid-19 tests, therapeutics and vaccines.
