World needs to know. A text this evening from colleague in middle income country. "We have a disaster here. Hospitals overwhelmed, critical oxygen shortages, soaring COVID numbers. New variant SARS- COV-2 highly transmissible"
"Know vaccines not magic bullet but are critical part of pandemic response. We need them now. #HCW exhausted, on their knees. Need vaccine urgently & are watching in despair as vaccines rolled out across parts of world. Need global access for vaccines."
"We are facing a humanitarian disaster. Please do what you can to change this now"
This report from Manaus very troubling - Manaus suffered hugely earlier this year leaving ~44% of the community with antibodies. https://twitter.com/covidserology/status/1345069530138038272
