Pope Francis: It Would be Sad if the Rich are Given Priority for the COVID-19 Vaccine
Pope Francis, addressing his virtual audience, stated that the COVID-19 vaccine should not be stocked up by rich nations, and the neediest people should be provided financial help. He said, "It would be sad if vaccine becomes the priority of this or that nation, if it is not universal and for everyone." He opined it would be a 'scandal' if the government distributes pandemic-related bailout money only to hand-picked industries.
