"At the same time, wealthy nations have, for centuries, been extracting natural resources from low- and middle-income countries and pocketing the proceeds. Scientific data, unfortunately, have been among those resources."
"The people in power are still doubling down on everything that brought us here. They are still outsourcing the pandemic response to the rapacious private healthcare industry. They are still implying that the Covid dead have only themselves to blame—after all, “we have the tools.” They are still insisting that the fault must not be in our stars but in ourselves, transforming an issue of public health into one of personal responsibility."
