Vaccine Nationalism is Killing Us: How Inequities in Research and Access to SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines Will Perpetuate the Pandemic This presentation will include a conversation among the panelists as they discuss the worldwide struggle for access to antiretroviral therapy and the current battle to ensure everyone is vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 across the planet. Panelists will describe how coalitions among activists, affected communities, and scientists were crucial for the fight against AIDS and how similar collaborations are vital now in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Panelists will discuss the similarities in the challenges for global access to antiretroviral therapy and SARS-CoV-2 vaccines but also how the speed and breadth of the spread of the novel coronavirus present new obstacles to existing institutions (eg, NIH, WHO, GAVI, WTO) and require solutions at far larger scale and established with greater urgency than accomplished for HIV, tuberculosis and malaria to date.
