British Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated that countries around the world must put aside the “beggar-thy-neighbor” attitude, which has led to disputes over medicines, protective equipment and the much-needed COVID-19 vaccine.
Johnson said on Thursday that the leaders of the Group of Seven nations meeting in Cabis Bay in southwest England this weekend will pledge to vaccinate the world by the end of 2022.
The British leader wrote in The Times of London that it is time for rich countries to “take up their responsibilities and vaccinate the world, because no one can be properly protected until everyone is protected.”
