The story of a non-resident Bangladeshi family establishing and running the famed perfume company Al Haramain and its successful subsidiaries
US President Joe Biden on Friday said other countries need to match US “generosity” and donate more Covid-19 vaccines, or the pandemic will not be stopped.
“This pandemic will not end until we have global vaccinations,” he said in a statement from Nantucket, where he was spending the Thanksgiving holiday.
Biden also called on countries to give up intellectual property protections to allow vaccines to be manufactured worldwide.
The urgent appeal from the US president came as he imposed travel restrictions on eight southern African countries in response to the detection of the potentially dangerous new Omicron variant of Covid-19 in South Africa.
“For the world community, the news about this new variant should make clearer than ever why this pandemic will not end until we have global vaccinations,” Biden said.
“The United States has already donated more vaccines to other countries than every other country combined. It is time for other countries to match America’s speed and generosity.”
He urged countries taking part in a ministerial level meeting of the World Trade Organisation next week to lift intellectual property protections on their coronavirus vaccines, allowing manufacturing to expand rapidly.
“This news today reiterates the importance of moving on this quickly,” he said.
