Greta Thunberg donates to fight against ‘tragedy’ of vaccine inequity
GENEVA, April 19, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg has donated 100,000 euros ($120,000) from her foundation to the Covax scheme for equitable access to Covid-19 vaccines, the World Health Organization announced Monday.
“The international community must do more to address the tragedy that is vaccine inequity,” 18-year-old activist Thunberg said. “Just as with the climate crisis, we must help those who are the most vulnerable first.”
