The World Health Organization called Wednesday for countries to avoid giving out extra COVID-19 jabs until year-end, pointing to the millions worldwide who have yet to receive a single dose.
Tedros complained that while 90 percent of wealthy countries have hit the 10-percent mark, and more than 70 percent have already reached 40 percent, "not a single low-income country has reached either target".
He expressed outrage at a statement by a pharmaceutical industry organization that the world's seven wealthiest nations, known as the G7, now had enough vaccines for all adults and teenagers - and to offer boosters to at-risk groups - and so the focus should shift to dose sharing.
"When I read this, I was appalled," he said.
Someone needs to remind WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus about the "Golden Rule".
