Today on @goodmorningamerica, @stewart and I announced that we are donating $25M to @unicef to #EndThePandemic by accelerating their global vaccination programs in nearly 100 countries. — While there’s a lot of optimism in the US around vaccinations, COVID-19 is still the single biggest threat to the lives, livelihoods, health, opportunities & economies of people around the world. We’re not through this yet and, for most of the world, it is likely to get worse. Look at what’s happening in India. — We’re all connected: if we in higher-income countries allow it to take years to vaccinate the rest of the world, it’s not going to end for us either. Thankfully, the vaccines have mostly proven robust against the current variants so far. But evolution is wily, fast and powerful. New vaccine-resistant variants could put us back at square one. – Why @UNICEF? They are uniquely well-positioned to pull this off: they already operate the biggest vaccine procurement, storage, shipping & cold chain distribution network in the world, supplying 2B+ doses of vaccine annually across ~100 countries & vaccinating 45% of the world’s children. — Anything we can do to ensure a fast & equitable distribution of vaccines and accelerate turning them into vaccinations should be a worldwide priority. Every bit of help is welcome and will make a difference.
