I live in a home with guns. I've pretty much always lived in a home with guns. My most treasured Christmas present at 10 was a gun. At my high school, kids went hunting before class and left their guns in their trucks. I understand what you mean when you say it isn't the guns. /1

While donations are essential, we can't rely on this practice alone to distribute the 11 billion doses @WHO estimates are needed.
At the #G7 this week, leaders must make plans to transfer technology and know-how to allow for vaccine production worldwide. nytimes.com/2021/06/09/us/po…

This is a major step forward. More global leaders must prioritize vaccine distribution both within & beyond their own borders, quickly.
In order to put an end to the pandemic, we need to increase not just supply, but access. Everyone needs the vaccine, not just a privileged few
JUST IN: The Biden administration has laid out its framework for sharing vaccines, announcing that 75% of doses would go through the WHO-backed COVAX initiative, with priority shipments to Latin America, Southeast Asia and Africa.
