The gaps are widening. This is unacceptable. Covax urgently needs 20 million doses to ensure that people get their second dose of the AZ vaccine
Replying to @WHOAFRO
Africa’s #COVID19 vaccination coverage is the lowest for any region of the world. The continent now accounts for only 1% of the vaccines administered worldwide, down from 2% a few weeks ago.

The Buddhas of Bamyan. These statues were proof that we could all get along. The people in Bamyan were exercising inclusion and tolerance that we dream of, until...... This pierced my heart. #theotherlatif @Radiolab
New ep! A ton packed in this one about #TheOtherLatif’s time in Afghanistan, including intvws with a former detainee who gave intel on Abdul Latif, & a CIA officer who hunted bin Laden post 9/11. But the juiciest interview of all I didn’t even do. wnycstudios.org/podcasts/rad…

For some people the idea of compassion entails a complete disregard for or even a sacrifice of their own interests. This is not the case. In fact, we first of all have to have a wish to be happy ourselves – if we don’t love ourselves like that, how can we love others?

Gut wrenching stories #metoo picking up in India
I finally decided to share my story with you. Writing this was like re-living all that horrible past I’d chosen to let go of, but I knew if I don’t today, I may never. So here’s #metoo #MetooIndia medium.com/@salonichopra/aft…
Disappointed to see bottled water being distributed for the last three days. Not to mention all the paper waste. Can’t we do better? #HSR2018 @H_S_Global

“Alma Ata was apolitical and thus not enough for today.” Health is potical and neutrality does not lead us to health for all. #evhotdebates #HSR2018

Counter argument. Alma Ata is more relevant than ever. Because now there is a momentum towards healths for all. #EVhotdebates #HSR2018 @ev4gh
