Covid 19 effects on developed countries are well documented, but in poor or war torn countries it's undocumented. It's pity that they will be the last one to receive vaccine. Kindly comment on the apathy of world towards them.
Dear Shameemul Haque, I fully agree with the previous answers. However, I would like to add some considerations:
1) it is absolutely not possible to stem and extinguish the pandemic in a single state or in some states, therefore it is necessary to vaccinate all citizens of the world, if possible simultaneously or in the shortest possible time to minimize any mutations of the virus that could make the current ineffective vaccines;
2) the most technologically and economically advanced states must financially and materially provide, according to the principle of solidarity, for world vaccination through the UN;
3) if the ancient Greeks interrupted wars to hold the Olympics, perhaps it is possible to convince the warlords to establish a truce for the duration of the pandemic;
4) it is necessary to increase research to find an effective and safe cure to fight and eradicate COVID 19 because immunization has a limited scope, some medicines, now in an advanced phase of experimentation will be probably already available in the next summer, this medicine, based on monoclonal antibodies, can be injected with a simple injection practiced even at home by the same patient;
5) in all of human history, it has never been necessary to be all united and supportive, as now, in the war against the pandemic.
The suffering was very great due to the lack of medicine and this oxygen giving equipment at the hospital level, but I saw a strange thing for which I did not know an explanation for why the poor did not catch the Corona virus
The less privileged countries for sure are less fortunate in receiving the vaccines sooner but we should all pray to God that they stay healthy and recover from the hardships they r going thru as soon as possible
They will take many years for comeback in terms of health economics and international relationships

Dear Professor,
Thank you for this wonderful topic of discussion.
The problem with this pandemic is that the disease that has caused this pandemic is highly contagious. That's why, even if there is one person in the world with this disease, then also we cannot say that this pandemic is over. The world's negligence towards war torn and poor countries will extend the life of this pandemic. If we continue to neglect such countries, then this pandemic will also continue go on and on.
In this context, I am being prompted to share a quotation.
"Either we shall live as one or perish as individuals."
- Martin Luther King Jr.
Best regards,

You are right
Unfortunately, this is reality 😕
We need to admit it we gonna be the last to get vaccine as long as big companies controlled the vaccine manufacturing and distribution
One of the major ironic revelations COVID-19 managed to uncover is that the countries who superficially have long kept crying for human rights showed their complete disregard to poor countries that are neglected even more than before striving to get the vaccines.

The ground realities in poor third world countries are sobering!
The rich and influential people will get the COVID-19 vaccine FREE while poor and deserving people will either have no access to vaccine or will have to pay through their nose to get vaccinated.
According to this news in JAMA, the rich countries have already acquired most of the COVID-19 vaccines
High-Income Countries Have Secured the Bulk of COVID-19 Vaccines
