Listen "#2 - The Cost of Vaccine Inequity with Dr. Alan Bernstein and Dr. Peter Singer"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to The Open Canada Podcast, a program that puts citizens at the heart of global affairs with exclusive access to international policymakers, hosted by veteran diplomats Ben Rowswell and Jeremy Kinsman, respectively President and Distinguished Fellow at the Canadian International Council. Beyond our borders, the pandemic rages on. Among low-income countries, less than 10 percent of the population has been vaccinated. Ben discusses the risk of a "catastrophic moral failure", according to the World Health Organization, if efforts are not made to make vaccine distribution equitable for all. He is joined by Dr. Alan Bernstein, President of the Canadian Institute For Advanced Research (CIFAR) and member of Canada’s pandemic vaccine task force, and Dr. Peter Singer, Special Advisor to the Director General of the WHO. Visit OpenCanada.org for reflections on Canada’s place in the world. Special thanks to the Konrad Adenauer Foundation for supporting The Open Canada Podcast.
