Pope Francis : The Priority of New Coronavirus Vaccination Cannot be Determined According to the Rich and the Poor

According to Fox News, on August 19 local time, Pope Francis said in a routine public interview at the Vatican that the priority of new coronavirus vaccination cannot be determined according to the rich and the poor. It should be equally available to all classes, especially the poor.

Pope Francis pointed out the same day that the new coronavirus epidemic has exposed class inequality, and the poor have been hit harder in the epidemic. 'It would be sad if the new coronavirus vaccination prioritizes the richest class.'

Pope Francis stated that finding a cure for the new coronavirus virus is crucial, but even if the new coronavirus epidemic is eliminated, the current social injustices and environmental degradation will not allow the world to function normally. He called on all countries in the world to work together to fight the 'big virus' of injustice, unequal opportunities and marginalization.

Fox News also reported that the World Health Organization (WHO) pointed out on August 18 that some developed countries are hoarding new coronavirus vaccines under development, which will worsen the epidemic. WHO encourages countries to join a global agreement before August 31 to share vaccine information with developing countries.

According to reports, there are currently more than 150 new coronavirus vaccines in the world under development, and only a few have entered the later stage of clinical trials.
