Vaccines save lives. It’s critical to get them to all counties A.S.A.P. If like me you live in a country where vaccines are available, please get vaccinated when it’s your turn. “ When searched further, we found that the viral video clip is part of an HBO documentary “How to survive a Pandemic” which is about the race to develop and distribute COVID-19 vaccines. It was an interview of Tedros Ghebreyesus with Jon Cohen on June 12, 2021, the full transcript of which can be seen on the ‘Science’ website. He states that he waited to get vaccinated till May 2021 to protest against the inequity of the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines in low-income countries.
