“We're seeing certainly real-time vaccine diplomacy start to play out, with China in the lead, in terms of being able to manufacture vaccines within China and make them available to others, largely low- and middle-income countries around the world. When you're making diplomatic decisions in two or three years, you may have fond memories of who was there to help you in the middle of a crisis.”

“Today several Caribbean countries, including Antigua and Barbuda, received 175,000 AstraZeneca vaccines from India. Of the 175,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines, 40,000 were donated to the people of Antigua and Barbuda. For this, we are extremely grateful. PM Narendra Modi has demonstrated perhaps the most significant act of benevolence, kindness and empathy that was seen in recent times compared to any act of any other leader globally.”

“I think at least we do have some precedent that you can make arrangements with companies that would allow them both to maintain a considerable amount of profit at the same time, that areas of the world that don't have resources can share in a way that would be lifesaving for literally millions of people.”

“You're not protecting your citizens; you're giving your citizens an illusion that you're protecting them. You need a big push to get lots of people vaccinated as quickly as possible to greatly reduce the number of newly infected people, and that's the way to dampen down the pandemic and get it under control. We do see middle-income countries trying to enter into vaccine deals. But if we take Moderna as an example, it already has promised 93 percent of the supply for 2021 that it can produce to rich countries. If you're not a rich country, you can try to negotiate with Moderna, but you're going to be [waiting] for the next 12 months until it can deliver anything to you.”

“Rich countries are vaccinating people but many other parts of the world are not. You're never going to get rid of COVID-19 if you have it spreading in some parts of the world and potentially mutating, and potentially in the future making vaccines not work. Less than 1 percent of COVID-19 vaccines so far globally have been administered in the 32 countries currently facing the most severe humanitarian crises.”

“Prior to Christmas ... we exercised 20 million options of Moderna. So that allows us to have 40 million doses of Moderna now in addition to our 20 million Pfizer doses. That allows us to hit about 30 million Canadians. We will be on track, without doubt, to ensure inoculations for all Canadians who want it by the end of September, if not sooner. That is the goal that I am pursuing every single day, moving up that end of September timeline so that we can see ourselves through to the other side of this pandemic as quickly as possible.”

“No one should be blocked from getting a life-saving vaccine because of the country they live in, or the amount of money in their pocket. But unless something changes dramatically, billions of people around the world will not receive a safe and effective vaccine for COVID-19 for years to come.”

“The hoarding of vaccines actively undermines global efforts to ensure that everyone, everywhere can be protected from COVID-19. Rich countries have clear human rights obligations not only to refrain from actions that could harm access to vaccines elsewhere but also to cooperate and provide assistance to countries that need it.”

“We know that Pfizer can have only 1.3 billion doses by the end of next year. That is definitely not going to vaccinate the world, but we are going to take this first crucial step which is exciting. The timeline has been fast, but also we need to think about this unique context that we are in – we have over 200 companies that have been focusing on developing a vaccine, they have unlimited resources and all of the world’s talents have been focused on this problem.”
