The world now has much of the science it needs to end this pandemic, and as regulators start to put their stamp of approval on it, the field of action is widening. So how do we deliver this science equitably? http://gates.ly/3gyvnhU 
Today, the @gatesfoundation is making its largest single commitment to fight the pandemic: $250 million. Why so much? And why now? The rationale has to do with how public health efforts have evolved since #COVID19 appeared https://gates.ly/3751ouV 
The world's richest nations have pre-purchased enough vaccine supply to cover their populations; some will be able to cover everybody 2x or 3x over. But the situation is very different for the 50% of humanity that live in low- & middle-income nations
Will 2021 play out this way: with vaccines, drugs, & tests going mainly to the richest places? Or will lifesaving science be available to everyone, regardless of location or income? The @gatesfoundation has a clear perspective http://gates.ly/3gyvnhU
