Results: EU 25 percent of the doses supplied, Europe 12 percent, Latin America 8 percent, Africa 2 percent (of which Morocco represents almost 70 percent).

On all these planets, the goal is the same: to reach Herdenimmunität as soon as possible, but “as soon as possible” can have very different meanings.

If herd immunity is defined as having vaccinated 70 percent of the population over 15 years of age, and if vaccinations continue at the same rate, which obviously, especially on some of these planets, will not happen, because the number of daily vaccinations is much higher than the average during the first months of the vaccination campaign, this result would be reached, in the United States, in July of this year, in Europe, at the end of 2022, in Latin America in April 2023, in Africa (leaving aside the data for Morocco) in seven-and-a-half years.

Unfortunately, there are no different planets. The planet is one, and the consequences of what happens anywhere on it affect it globally. Backwardness in Africa is not an African problem. It is a global problem.

The rich countries cannot ignore the difficulties of vaccination in Africa, which will not be solved by donations which, unless there is a much greater commitment on the part of all countries, will only serve to buy coffins, while the virus will continue to spread and mutate, thus jeopardizing the false security that these countries may have the illusion of having achieved.

In the first months of the pandemic, Cuba could afford to send health personnel to Italy to make up for the problems that Italy was having. Is it unthinkable that rich countries should do something similar in Africa?
